Startup experience isn't valued by anyone at large companies. They are there because those people don't value the skills needed to succeed in a startup, which is generalism and the ability to learn and apply new things quickly. It isn't looked down upon except by a few insecure people, which you can find anywhere, but it definitely isn't valued.
