I don't see Warren as anti-corporate at all. In fact, I see her as wanting to move us back toward corporatism (in addition to increasing the welfare state). Many of her policies are designed to help corporations in exchange for them taking a greater role in boosting workers.
I see Warren as wanting to harness corporations to do more for their workers (and consumers) rather than their shareholders. I don't think she unconditionally sees them as villainous, I think she just sees them as misbehaving a lot under the current system.
In fact I see signs of a similar attitude from Bernie, who has pushed companies to pay workers more in order to make them less dependent on government welfare payments.
Both Bernie and Warren seem to hearken back to the 20th-century "Treaty of Detroit" era when companies, influenced by strong unions, regulation, nationalism, and managerialism, paid workers living wages and offered them job security. That's not anti-corporate per se.
