You wouldn't say that you "work in" a corporation, you'd say "at" or "for" them. It is correct to say "in" when talking about which part of the company you work for, or if you are talking about a place.
Example of "work for": I work for an accounting company. / I work for them.
Example of "work in: I work in Nestlé.
Example of "work on": I go to work on the weekends.
