The stock is good sure, but I always figured that FAANG was more about their reputation as employers than it was about their reputation as an investment.

I think it's the opposite actually. I remember FAANG being used as a reference to hot stocks.

Investopedia seems to claim the same: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/faang-stocks.asp

Personally speaking, I do not go to companies for clout but I'm also not interested in bragging to other engineers in the form of xGoog xUber etc

I go for the stock price because those RSUs are my retirement plan.
