Definitely not, or if they do, they cave to whatever the counter is.
Edit: I see many people state their preferences in negotiations, but they rarely take non-negotiable stances with large corps when negotiating working conditions. To be fair, I’ve seen the other extreme, where people have non-negotiables that are not feasible or realistic (e.g., reserved parking in a building with no parking, 2x-3x market rate for entry level positions, etc.). That said, I think these are rare, and these excessive asks reveal the wackadoodles fairly efficiently.
I’m guessing a decent percentage of those hired take the team they are assigned to at roughly the total comp that they were initially offered (e.g., maybe a few thousand more rather than 100k more… or maybe just the initial offer).
People default to being bad at negotiation, and many aren’t willing to walk when an offer is insulting. There’s some room for discussion about accepting offers and then bolting when the labor market shifts towards labor, but I’m not sure that’s optimal.
