The answer

It is not forbidden to work in a company where there are impermissible pictures or crucifixes in its offices. This is because many scholars have permitted entry into churches, which are often not free of crosses and impermissible pictures. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, entered the Kaaba when there were pictures inside it. Moreover, a Muslim's employment by a non-Muslim in a capacity other than personal service is legally permissible, such as tailoring a garment or similar work, or working for a non-service related fixed term.
