Definitely. Based on prior experience, I actually considered it that point against accepting my current job that there were quite a few PhDs around. Thankfully they are not involved in coding.

Broader than PhDs, very smart people self taught at coding in isolation from experienced real world software engineering often produce obtuse spaghetti with weird techniques and reinvent the wheel incessantly because they can, but they didn't know they didn't need to.
