I can't think of many companies that also control a powerful law enforcement agency (S.T.A.R.S.), so beyond comparing them to ominous shady supercorporations like Monsanto, I've got nothing.
Well it'd probably have to be a large biological company; government contracts would also help. I can't think of any off the top of my head but I'll probably end up working for one.
CVS! I've seen the crazy hidden technology they have in the manager's office. They brainwash their employees, too. All they have to do is flip a switch and all employees, past or present, will become an unstoppable army.
I must compliment everyone on their unique and varied responses; however, my vote would have to go to Citigroup for the following reasons:
A. Look at that logo. Are they trying to be obviously affiliated with Umbrella?
B. According to Forbes Global 2000 in March 2007, [Citigroup] is the world's largest company, with total assets of nearly US $1.9 trillion.
Nothing says “Large Corporation with zombie making power” than raking in a cool $1,900,000,000,000.
C. Now, if by this time you’re thinking, “But Trireme, Citigroup specializes in financial accounts and has nothing to do with biomedical research!” Then I present to you the smoking gun. 100% real Umbrella and Citigroup employee ids:
So similar… coincidence? I think not! Especially when you take into consideration that both ids have 666 pixels as the image width! ZOMG!!!
It's difficult to measure what is the biggest corporation in the world, because it depends on whether you use sales, total assets, profit, market value, etc. Forbes takes several variables and makes its own analysis of what's big.
Exxon Mobil is actually hailed in many business circles as the largest business in the world. Recently it had some $330 billion in sales, marking the most in sales any company has ever made in the history of business. Citigroup reported that 2006 net income fell by 12% to $21.5 billion, so they're falling behind.
It depends on how you look at it.
...Sorry. I'm an international business major, and I'm required to read the Wall Street Journal daily and the Economist weekly. It rubs off on you.
Edit: I have nothing for the ID card similarities. Irrefutable.
I don't think so, no business would print red ink onto black cardstock fo IDs, it is far too costly and unecessary, and business execs are all chaep bastards.
On April 11, 2007 Citigroup said it will eliminate 17,000 jobs, or about 5 percent of its workforce, in a broad restructuring designed to cut costs and bolster its long underperforming stock. [7]
They're eliminating the ones that said anything to the public! MEEEP! :O
If they're cutting costs, then it means that they will have extra cash on hand. They can reinvest that into T or G virus research. Hell, they can start moving on to new letter viruses, like E, X, or the dreaded Q Virus.

The Carlyle Group?
They do. His name is Bill O'reilly, and he will kill you with a vibrator.
You know it makes sense.
