'office' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'after long time at new company' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'long time' becomes 'age' (synonyms).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'company' becomes 'cy' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'n' next to 'cy' is 'ncy'.
'age' put next to 'ncy' is 'AGENCY'.

'got discontented with' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
