From my experiences I've found that most people are more concerned about who you did your grad work with, not the institution. I'm sure it's different for course-based grad degrees but for a thesis/research degree that seems to be the trend.

Edit: They also care about your publication track record. Publish a few quality articles in good journals and you'll write you own ticket. The name of the institution might make it easier to get published but in the end quality work is quality work.
