It is permissible to work for this company under two conditions: First, the work must not involve anything Islamically prohibited, such as broadcasting forbidden content, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Second, the work must not expose oneself to destruction, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "And do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction."
