19 Of The Best Fictional Companies To Work For

Seeing as these movie and TV companies don't actually exist, they'd probably be filed under the "dream job" category. Still, if they were real companies, you'd definitely want to send your resumé to them. Here are some of the best fictional companies to work for.

Universal Exports

The cover for MI6 in the “James Bond” universe, this company monitors the overseas travel of British secret agents. Who wouldn’t want to be in on all the classified action?

Monsters Inc.

A company that focuses on scaring young children for a living is actually full of lovable workers, as evidenced by the movie “Monsters Inc.”

Ghostbusters

You could drive the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 and work out of a fire station. Plus, you’d get to sing the “Ghostbusters” theme song everyday, which is a major perk.

Wayne Enterprises

Who wouldn’t want one of the most powerful men in the world who secretly masquerades as bat-themed vigilante to be their boss? Lucius Fox could be your co-worker!

Weyland-Yutani Enterprises

If you’ve seen “Alien,” you know how badass this would be. Each day would be about visiting planets and stars and super secret military operations.

Omni Consumer Products

If you’re good with power and technology, working for this company from the “Robocop” universe might be your best bet.

Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory

PROS:  Lots of candy and really cool work environment. CONS: You’ll probably get at least a cavity or two. 

Cyberdyne Systems

It is true that Cyberdyne in “Terminator” created a piece of software that became self-aware and attempted to destroy ALL of mankind. But you could be the employee to bring the company back to the good side!

Macmillan Toys

Testing toys all day (as Tom Hanks did in “Big”)  sounds like the ultimate dream job. 

Stark Industries

Who wouldn’t want to test out the robots and military superhero armor that Tony Stark (a.k.a. Iron Man) is famous for?

Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes

Working with Fred and George Weasley (of the “Harry Potter” series) would be absolutely magical.

M.I.B.

Wearing all black and monitoring alien activity as your day job sounds like the perfect gig. Working alongside the “Men in Black” cast would certainly be entertaining, too!

The Daily Planet

You’d be able to report on the hard-hitting news that’s plaguing the “Superman” universe if you got a job at the Daily Planet newspaper.

Starfleet

You’d go where no man has gone before if you got a job in the “Star Trek” universe. It’d be tough to have Spock as a co-worker, but working on the Starfleet would certainly be an adventure.

Paper Street Soap Company

Working for a soap company where all the profits go to Operation Mayhem might sound questionable to some, but anyone who’s ever seen “Fight Club” knows that there would never be a dull moment.

Ingen

Working for this “Jurassic Park” company comes with its risks — after all, you’re working with dinosaurs. But it’s hard to deny how fun it would be!

Acme

The supplier of just about any random gadget that your mind can think of. Wile E. Coyote practically kept them in business single-handedly in his attempt to capture the Road Runner.

Virtucon

Yet another company (from the world of “Austin Powers”) for the more dastardly and devious mind. The best part is you would have limitless miniature models and Starbucks at your disposal, even if all of your evil plans fall through.

Dunder Mifflin

Sure, working for a paper company might not be the most glamorous or fun job out there, but it’s hard to deny that your co-workers are some of the funniest and most entertaining people around. They’d make your 9-to-5 a sheer joy!
