[Spider-Man/Marvel] What exactly does Oscorp do?

I ask this because it seems to vary depending on the interpretation and they often appear to work on a wide array of vastly different sciences, usually dealing with chemicals, genetics, military tech, or some combination of those.

In the 616 universe, it seems like they're primarily a chemical company.

In the Ultimate universe, they seem to be a genetics company

In the Raimi movies, it seems like they deal with military technology and chemicals.

In the first Amazing Spider-Man, it seems like it's almost entirely genetics while the second one has them creating exo-suits and power plants. If you count the game as well, they also make robotics and cellphones.

The 2018 game seems to be the same as the Amazing Spider-Man where they do research on genetics, general tech, weapons, medicine, robotics, and many other things.

Basically what I'm asking is what kind of company Oscorp is overall?

Are there companies like this in real life that just dabble in all sorts of vastly different sciences? What would you call a company like this?

For example, Wayne Enterprises in the Nolan films (and many comics) is a military technology company, hence why Bruce has access to military grade tech as Batman.

Obviously, from a real world perspective, Oscorp is the generic evil corporation that does whatever science the writers need them to but it always seemed odd to me that this single company does like every type of science imaginable.

Yes, there are plenty IRL companies like that. Research about General Electric or Siemens. You would be amazed at how many advanced products they have

EDIT: About the name they are either called conglomerates or "Industrial goods manufacturer" (opposed of consumer goods)
