The ruling on working for insurance companies varies depending on the type of insurance. There is no harm in working for a cooperative insurance company, but it is not permissible to work for a commercial insurance company because it constitutes aiding in sin. Regarding working for the mentioned company, it is not permissible to work for it, even temporarily.
