RE: Moz's official stance on Subdomain vs Subfolder - does it need updating?

New Domain, Subdomain or Subfolder
Hi All,
I am working with a bank that would like to rank as many parts of the company site as possible for the company name. This includes the home page, a page on careers and a page on company reviews.
The question is, it is better to structure the careers and reviews content on a subfolder, subdomain or new domain.
Using subfolders to retain equity of the root domain site.americanbank.comamernicanbank.com/careersamericanbank.com/reviews
or (use subdomains - you lose some of the main domain equity and it is counter to the Moz research)
americanbank.comcareers.americanbank.comreviews.americanbank.com
or set up new domains to overcome Google bias not to rank the same root domain in the top 7 to 10 results multiple times when displaying results for a company name.

Thanks for your perspective.

Hi Rand,
I am working with a bank that would like to rank as many parts of the company site as possible for the company name. While I understand the results on subdomains vs. subfolders, the question is, if we go with subfolders, will google rank multiple parts of a site within the top 10 results thinking that preference is giving 1 spot to the named URL.
it is better to structure this as:
Using subfoldersamericanbank.comamernicanbank.com/careersamericanbank.com/reviews
or (use subdomains)
americanbank.comcareers.americanbank.comreviews.americanbank.com
or (set up new domains)
americanbank.comamericanbankcareers.comamericanbankreviews.com
Thanks for your perspective.
