7. Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL) –Total Score: 18 Hate Points

The number seven on our list of most hated companies in America in 2017, Halliburton ranked second on The Harris Poll’s reputation list, falling from fifth a year earlier, beating only Volkswagen. As it’s not a consumer-facing company, the hate is entirely based on public perception of its transgressions, though surprisingly, it did not rank on Sigwatch’s list, despite several other oil giants making the cut. Halliburton is infamous for the Deepwater Horizon spill, as well as its connection to former Chairman and CEO Dick Cheney, who became one of the least-liked politicians in U.S history.
