Why the usage of where in the following sentence is wrong?
The Company where I work has gone bankrupt.
As where refers to specific location in the GMAT. In the above sentence where is referring to the Company.
Usage of "where" - doubt

Ganesh,
As you pointed out, 'where' on the GMAT is used only for places or locations - your company is not a location. i.e. you can work 'with' a company, not 'at' a company.
The area where my office is located... <correct>
The company in which I work... <correct>
Hope you got it.
