Remember álways your MOTHER language - is te same meaning? In English in the same! Just at here is wrong and remember to use past perfect participle- I've worked in this company a month ago.

So you mean that I could say ”have worked in” instead of ”began to work at”, don't you?

Sure sounds a ton more natural ... But both are the same meaning it's hard to comprehend past perfect and present perfect as well but native English speaker just use that!!! The construction of phrase "I began..." Is totally understandable but if you are talking with natives...they think: oh gosh!!! Please another English student noooo!!! Lol

If you begin to and the actions persist... Then you might use: I have worked... If you use I begin...then put a time with like I begin to work in April,23 for example..

"Began to work at" refers to the place of work. "At" gives information on where the action is happening.

"Began to work for" refers to the employer. "For" gives information on who the employer is and who benefits from "his" work.

"For" means "under" and "for the sake of"

"for A" = Aのために

Ex.
He works for me.
Do it for me.
That gift was for me.
They were all here for your birthday.

My Japanese isn't that good but it's maybe something like:

At this company: この会社に…
For this company: この会社のために…
