Both are incorrect. "I've been working at Google for 10 years" or "I've been working at google since 2007"
Since is used when you're talking about a specific time.
You could say "I've worked" instead of "I've been working" too

"I have been working at Google (for) 10 years" is correct while
"I work at Google since 10 years" is not correct.

Thanks but if I'm still working at Google. I should rather says something with "since" am I right?
- Inglés (US)
You could, but you would sat 'since 2007' or 'for 10 years.' Since is only used with a specific time, day, month or year.

Oh thank you I got it. So it's mean even when I use "for 10years" it could mean that I'm still working at Google.

@snac666 Yep! That part doesn't change the meaning. It's the verb that affects that. "Have been ××××ing" means you still are doing it

Both sound unnatural. I understand more or less what you're tying to say, but I'm not sure what your exact meaning is.
My biggest problem is with the word "at".
You want to say:
I have been working at Google for 10 years.
But I'm not sure if you should say at, for, or with Google.
"I work at Google" means Google is the place where I work.
"I work for Google" means Google is the people who tell me what to do and I do it.
"I work with Google" means (the people of) Google and I work together to develop new and better products.
I hope this helps.

@OldGeezer Actually I'm just trying to say that I work at Google as an employee.

I think I understand where your confusion comes since I believe you would say 'je travaille à Google depuis 10 ans' and depuis means since? Be careful tho, because since can never be used before a time duration (10 years) like it is in french!

So if I say:
I have been working at Google for 10years. (It means that I'm still working at Google)
I have been worked at Google for 10years. (It means that I don't anymore work at Google)
I have been working at Google for 10years. (It means that I'm still working at Google)
I have been worked at Google for 10years. (It means that I don't anymore work at Google)

@snac666 that first one is correct. 'I have been shopping at walmart for 10 years' means I still shop there.
However, second one is slightly off. If you want to say you worked at google for 10 years and you don't anymore, you would say 'I worked at google for 10 years'
Ps: never used a verb ending in 'ed' after have been. It should only end in -ing. (Have been working, have been shopping etc) hope this helps!

Thanks. Just one remark. What does it mean if I say: I've worked for 10 years at Google.
- Árabe
- Inglés (US)
@snac666 I guess it's pretty much the same as 'I have been working'. It also means you still work there, but it puts more emphasis on the fact that you worked there for 10 years, more than the fact that you still work there.
