´WORK at/in/for ´
 

Hi!

Please, help me with prepositions! We say ´I work FOR some company ´ but what about departments? Is it ´I work IN the Engineering Department ´ or ´I work AT the Engineering Department ´?

I work for/at ABC [company]
 
I work in the engineering department

And is there any difference between AT and FOR when used with ´company ´?

They are usually interchangeable in this case but often one sounds better than the other
