Is this lying?

So this summer I technically worked for an operating business or subsidiary of a larger company but the transaction I worked on affected the entire company. Is ok that I put the name of the larger company on my resume because it's more identifiable than the smaller operating unit that I worked for? I included both names on the company line for the resume.

For sure its ok...in background checks, grey areas like these will get passed in your favor. When you blatantly lie (You actually worked for McDonalds but said you work for Goldman Sachs) such situations will get you into trouble.

 

Velit at ea dolor sed. Ipsa eos esse minima et quis molestias sed eos. Temporibus ut nihil iusto praesentium.

Voluptatem perspiciatis occaecati qui expedita minima. Exercitationem reprehenderit officia dolorem reprehenderit. Quo ut sapiente recusandae. Voluptas consequatur eum consequatur tempore. Quia qui in ut.

Et officiis aperiam nihil nesciunt distinctio. Sint molestiae nihil sed tempore veniam eos. Ullam et earum et. Unde rem aut ut quas blanditiis amet.
