She has worked in this company for five years. — Она работает в этой компании пять лет.
Past Simple используется для:
Future Forms: Plans, Decisions, Predictions

Mini Tips
Use Present Simple with words like usually, often, every day.
Use Present Continuous with now, at the moment, this week.
If a situation feels temporary, Present Continuous is often the better choice.
