Hello there good sir,
So let's get to your questions:
1. Do you mean can you still apply to an MBA? Sure!
2. Not a problem at all. what the school WILL look at though is how you have done, how the company has done, how big it is (or not), and how much potential it has.
3. It's not entirely clear to me yet. It depends a bit on your firm, and how big and successful it is, and how much leadership you have, and how much you have done. They may be a bit out range for you, your fantastic GMAT notwithstanding, but you can always give them a shot if they are your dream as long as you apply to enough other schools.
4. It doesn't matter. What I always tell folks is: go to the best program you can get into! With your 740, I think you can stay within the top 30 schools or so (although the Top 10 will likely be tough)
Hope this helps!
