I like your version with "with" Microsoft. The paragraph sounds fine to me, but you'd better wait till you have a native's opinion.

Companies like to think of themselves as "human." Working WITH them, rather than at, in or for them. A job with Microsoft is a good choice, pieanne.

Thank you, Ikia. Anyway, you can't work "in" Microsoft, "at" would be difficult - they have so many offices -, and "with" , as you say, is better than "for"

My uncertainty was related to the rest of the message.
