Grammar
Work for/in/at
Hello,
I have read some of the threads about this topic but today one sentence made me confused. So, I hope you can help me out.
Is it correct to say "He did not receive his certificate while he worked as a cadet in his previous company". I thought of using for but it didn't sound right to me. Perhaps I'm wrong. The subject/person in this sentence did not literally work in an office though; he is a sailor but he worked for a company.
Thanks in advance.

In my opinion, in, at, and for all work fine in this context if company means an organization like a corporation. The word cadet , however, suggests the military, and in that case he would have been a cadet in his company (the military grouping). CJ
