I have limited experience but it seems a very rough rule is that the less strict the company SOPs are, the more they tend to value experience. Probably because their judgement is called on more often.
When I was looking for a job I ran into lots of smaller operators who really wanted lots of experience, but I also spoke with a few training bods in bigger operators (airlines etc) who preferred having the 'blank canvas' cadet to work with.
I was in the middle (sort of) with around 6-700 hours and no type rating, meaning I wasn't a blank canvas to work with but wasn't experienced either.
For what it's worth, I think the operators dismissing experience tends to break down when you have experience on type. That always seems to be quite a valuable thing to them.
