There's plenty of evil little small companies... a lot of venal recruitment firms, terrible family lawyers, exploitative pyramid sales, sloppy builders... there's a million bad businesses.

NB: These are examples of individual companies I've come across, not generic derision of these industries.

It's the just that for smaller companies the evil comes off as hapless, petty or driven by an individual powerful in that small organization. And the impact is generally small to individual clients/customers and so the noise is confined.

Think the big company 'evil' is driven from a different place than your standard 'small minded egotist' boss in a small company.
