I have seen both prepositions - in and at - used with the word "company".

Is it correct to use either of them?

you can work at a company, you can have stock in a company and you can invest in a company, you can also look for stability in a company, and I guess you can meet a wonderful girl at a company you work:)

I see.
Thank you. :)
How about a parking lot?
I guess a car will be IN a parking lot while we may agree to meet AT a parking lot? Am I right?

at company - OK
but in company?.. Shouldn't there be an article before the "company"?

I think we need a little more idea of the contexts. Please provide examples.
