There are some people in the support & engineering groups that I know don't
have degrees, but they're in the vast minority.  The real problem getting a
job there without a degree is getting past the "gatekeepers" (HR), since the
official policy says all engineering positions require a degree.  You CAN
get an engineering job there without one, but it's a lot more difficult.
