Yes, I have worked with the strong but arrogant/snarky engineers. Luckily most of them got canned or forced out because the environment they create around themselves more than negates the positive impact they have. The strongest engineers I have worked with are all humble and kind.

It is their loss, I cannot imagine letting a minor work quarrel live rent free in my head for over a decade. I feel bad enough when something is stuck in my mind for a week.
