Can you post your Entity definition (source)?
In my understanding:
- Company and Employee @ManyToMany-Relationship = yes/no?
Nope, there is a Relationship entity which makes the relationship between Company and Employee. There is Relationships.status, and Relationship.post attributes (among the others) which defines which Relationship is considered as active (retired or not) and on which post the Employee (CEO, CTO, normal employee etc.) is. From this we can build an order for an Employee, which Company is the most relevant and which is the least -> the most relevant will be the DefaultCompany.
- Usually you define a JoinTable, if it is @ManyToMany
- Why don't you store the default Company with @OneToOne as extra attribute, besides design issues?
I could define it as an extra attribute, but the trigger would be far too complicate, instead of issuing query for each getDefaultCompany();

I have to entites: Employee, Company.
An Employee can be employed in many Companies, but there is a special
Company which should be interpreted as the default one
