I'm looking at some contract roles at FAANG companies. While the company handling payroll and benefits is another company (contractor / consulting) company, I would essentially be working 'on site' or remotely at the FAANG company.

Question: on Linkedin and my resume, is it okay to say my employer was FAANG? What's a good way to present it on paper or screen?

    They will verify the employer you put on your resume/CV during the background check. If your employer was actually a contract company and you just put FANG, then your offer will probably be rescinded.

    You can. There is employment type in linkedin, you can put as contract. Also, for resume, yes you can put for sake of getting interview. Later you can convey them. Hey, at least you will get some interview calls

    You can say "FAANG via <staffing company>" on linked in to make it clear. But some staffing companies forbid the mention of the main company entirely, so read your contract.

      I get it, but just asking as I'm not aware of how sensitive the subject may be, if it all. In my experience, some places and industries will ding you if you misplace a period or comma somewhere.
