The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
“Mormons, Inc.”

The POM Wonderful company
Red Ventures. They buy up web properties, fire everyone, and turn them into ai-generated click farms. For example, C|Net. They steal from their employees too.
If the company you work for is bought by Alpine Investments, get a lawyer. Especially if you're a woman or expect severance when they ditch you.
Palantir is pretty core to the Surveillance Society in several supposedly Democratic countries. More in general just about all companies in that space such as the NSO Group makers of the Pegasus software for remote hacking of smartphones are invariably unethical

Prenda law. A legal outfit that would seed porn and then sue downloaders for copyright violations. The idea being that people would settle to avoid being publicly humiliated by their porn viewing habits.
Generally the larger the company the more evil it is as a general rule, so a lesser known evil company would be unlikely. That's why I'm supportive of a strong democratic federal government, the natural predator of companies.
