I'm going to go classic and name a company that personally wronged me: Noodles & Co. I used to work in a mall and every single restaurant in the mall had a mall employee discount. It was usually a token discount between 5-10% but still it made a difference on your lunch break during an 8 hour shift. Noodles & Co. had no discounts for mall employees and one time I found a hair in my food there. It's petty but since then I have never returned to that restaurant

Very, very few. I figure that all large companies are awful in one way or another; the only difference is whether we know about it or not.
I prefer to shop locally when it’s an option. I like feeling as if my business genuinely matters.
T-Mobile was pretty awful, and stuck me a big cancellation fee when I left. I had been with them for +15yrs. Never would i return
Not that I have progressed enough financially yet to be in a position to buy a Tesla Model S, it's gone from a dream car to something I'd be ashamed to own because of being disillusioned by who Elon Musk is over the past few years.

Applebee's. They wanted to screw their employees during COVID.
And their food is mediocre.
None. I'm not rich, I don't have the luxury of straight-out boycotting any particular company. If I could, both Amazon and Walmart would be top of the list. And I'm sure many others.
Hell, I've been wanting to finally delete my Facebook account for years now, but Facebook marketplace is apparently the ONLY place I'm ever going to be able to sell anything. It's the only reason I still have the account. I have long since delete all posts, photos, and literally any other data that they would let me delete, aside from marketplace posts and associated messenger conversations. Used to buy and sell constantly on Craigslist for many years, now I haven't been able to successfully sell a single item in at least the last 2-3 years. Letgo was a decent one for a while, until the app got bought by, and then shut down by, OfferUp. And the OfferUp people are basically con artists (use shady methods of boosting the number of "active" listings, in order to artificially inflate the value of their company). It has been nearly impossible to sell, or even BUY anything on OfferUp, after several years of trying to make user of the app.
Most of them
Microsoft.
To be fair I only have given them money (indirectly) once buying a gaming laptop with preinstalled windows.
There are lots of others of course, but who knows which brand is actually Nestle or Lactalis etc.
There's a database of Nestle owned companies on f**knestle.art if you want to quickly remove a handful of secretly-Nestle products from your life.

I’m boycotting Sabra hummus until Israel gives us a motherfucking ant-colony-level Hamas bunker under that hospital. We were promised a whole ass command center and got a wack ass video of one hole. I want to see the secret lair.

US Airways. They left me stranded at a layover and I nearly missed my grandfather’s funeral. When I asked to be rebooked after waiting three hours in line, they offered me a 10% off coupon for the airport hotel; no refund or credit for the incomplete flight. I eventually found a flight out. It was $2000.

Any company with an ad that makes me wait or click more than once.
Sony, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Blizzard/Activision, EA, Every car company (I only buy pre 2010 cars). I could go on but you get the idea. Modern megacorps are fuckin gross.
Netflix Paramount Chick-fil-A Hobby Lobby
.... and whoever else seems to be run by bigots or ad pushers
HBO, because of the last two seasons of Games of Thrones. I can't get over how easy the Night King was defeated and no more ice babies.

EA, Ubisoft and Blizzard are kind of on my soft-blacklist, if that counts. My greylist, I guess you could say. I can't say 100% I'll not give them money in future, but I don't want to. And they make it so easy to boycott them because they aren't making anything I give a shit about.
Facebook and Elon Musk's companies (both's effects on global society are way more egregious than other tech companies,) pretty much any company that wears faith on their sleeve
