Default What would be the worst company to admit you worked for?

I've been looking for other jobs lately, but there isn't much around of the sort of thing that I'm after. Anyway after a few months of keeping my eyes peeled and having had a particularly rubbish day at work yesterday i was really chuffed to seee EXACTLY the type of role i'm after advertised on a an agency website.

Only I've just found out who it's working for - HMRC

Now it's reasonable money, but honestly for me to have to admit to people that i worked for the taxman (ugghh!) that role would need to come with a substantial 'social stigma' bonus! (OK it isn't actually tax collector type stuff but that's not the point)

Which got me thinking - is there any company who it would be worse to admit you worked for??

MicroSoft. I know a couple of people that work for them, and don't publically state their employer.

Frank Thomas Group

They are reviled amongst bike trade reps. I would be utterly ashamed to admit to selling the crap they make.
