| May 12, 2011 at 12:18 | comment | added | check123 | I did consider 'at' but in this part of the world, we generally use 'at' to refer to temporary location. Eg: He is at Walmart. Meaning the person is at Walmart to buy something rather than being employed with them. For employment purposes, we use either 'in' as above or even 'with' - Shelia is now with Facebook. | |
