Currently, today, no they do not....but in 4-5 years there is retirement looming and my thinking is that my prior tenure in other positions within the company may mean something in the hiring decision if all other requirements are met.
Does your current job role have anything at all to do with flying airplanes or managing them?
Not trying to be harsh, but unless you have photos of the boss screwing his secretary, or you're his best golfing buddy, or his kid... most companies will put a LITTLE credit toward you already being an employee when switching departments to something completely different, but they still have to compare your resume' for the job at hand vs. whatever they get from informal or formal other sources.
And I'd bet good money there's already a pilot hanging around trying to be as helpful as possible and available for vacation day schedule holes, who already has the hours or is close to it, or they're fully aircraft qualified and on the on-call list, already helping other scheduling problems, who'll have a LOT of right seat time in YOUR company's aircraft sitting next to the "next senior pilot after the old one retires". They'll be tapped on the shoulder before you are, if you're just going on "I worked for the company"...
Better crank up those networking skills... or buy a really long telephoto lens. LOL...
This isn't to discourage you from trying, but if you want to fly... go fly... spend the money from the day job on it... there's all sorts of people hiring in the corporate world if that's what tickles your fancy... and
@James331 has hit the average on what you'll need to fly for most of them. The corporate gigs attract some of the retired 121 pilots who don't want to quit flying too, so starting numbers are higher in corporate still than in the regional airlines and some other commercial gigs... some of those folks are handing in resume's to your flight department with tens of thousands of hours of airliner / jet time on them and in their logbook.
