I would like to know what usually follows after each proposition in sentences with the word "work".
These are what I understand so far:
I work for my boss. ( usually for certain person )
I work in a accounting corporation. (usually for business area )
I work at Samsung. ( usually for specific name of company )
Could you please tell me if I understand rightly?

This is OK grammatically, but feels odd to me because it seems rather tautological: by definition the person you work for is your boss, so there's no need to say so. It would be better to indicate the specific person who is your boss:
(Of course if you are self-employed, or unemployed, then you wouldn't be talking about working for somebody in the first place.)
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. So:
(Also, note that it's an accounting corporation, not a accounting corporation.)
This is correct. It would also be correct to say I work for Samsung.
