No.
For FAANG there's two separate components
- imagine and ethics of the company
- being a selective and prestigious company to work for
You can have one without the other. For example Facebook have serious problems with their company ethics but they're still doing great technical work and are selective with their hiring. So being an engineer at Facebook still gives some weight to your resume.
But then the comparison to Enron is weird. The technical part of it doesn't apply at all. And the company ethics problems are playing out in very different ways. Enron were a long-running fraud which is very different from what's happening with the big tech companies. I don't know how Enron resumes are viewed but I imagine that unless you were personally involved in the scandals, it's just a job that you had a long time ago. So the answer to your question is no, it doesn't even make sense to compare them.
Then there's the fact that FAANG isn't a monolith and each company has its own image and individual set of problems. And when there are problems, they have nothing to do with the overwhelming majority of people working for the company.
