People who hate big companies like Google or Starbucks are just jealous of other peoples' success. Stereotyping companies is no different from stereotyping races or nations; its just ideological conformity used to try to shock people and make some people feel as though "non-conformity" automatically means they make the world a better place.

I do know some people that speak greatly about small businesses, but believe all multi national companies are evil.

Well, maybe they are, but some of them do things the right way. And besides, every company has it's greatnes and downsides.

For examples, television sets from Philips are awesome, but their DVD drives suck ass.
