arbeiten fuer / zusammenarbeiten mit
Both the words bei and fuer indicate belonging to an organisation, which would not make so much sense here.
I think it is much more likely that it is supposed to mean:
neither employment nor co-operation/collaboration with
Therefore I would restructure the sentence and use two different verbs.

bei oder für
...bei einem anderen oder für ein anderes Unternehmen zu arbeiten...
Ich denke, hier wird unterschieden, ob der Mitarbeiter später *bei* diesem (möglicherweise konkurrierenden) anderen Unternehmen angestellt ist, oder z. B. als freier Mitarbeiter/Selbstständiger *für* dieses tätig wird.
