I am with (company name). I would say that this means that the person is employed directly by the company. 2. I work with (company name). This could mean that the person is working on a sort of partnership/project with the company, as your friend has said. |

I go with you. But my friend says the context of usage of 'with' in the first example is wrong. His opinion is both examples convey the same meaning i.e working in association. I welcome further discussion in this regard. |
