Basically, yes. A small number of the bigger airlines prefer integrated for somebody in their first job, whilst many of the smaller employers (air-taxi people, flying clubs...) prefer NOT integrated because they'd rather have more hours and a bit more "PPL type" flexibility.

Once you've been flying a few years, neither will care at-all how you trained, just what licences and hours you have. The licence itself is exactly the same.
