Company structure:
- Headquarters - each company has one and only one - this is where the hiring is done and this is where contracts are written.
- Subsidiary - is a company owned by another company - you could get a job or internship there as well.
- Branch - part of a company - a ford factory would be a branch of Ford Motor Company. You might work or intern in a factory but you would apply for that job or internship through the headquarters.
