Method 2

You need to check this file for company field in vendor.

vendor/magento/module-customer/view/frontend/templates/widget/company.phtml

You can override this file here in your custom theme and you can change placeholder there.

app/design/frontend/Vendor/Theme/Magento_Customer/templates/widget/company.phtml

Hope this will help you!

Note: Use and implement method 1 because this method fully tested our system.
Thank you 🙂
