The answer

If the majority of a company's capital is unlawful (haram), then working for it is prohibited. However, if the majority is lawful, it is preferable to avoid working there, as it is considered disliked (makrooh), and some scholars have deemed it prohibited. The unlawfulness of earnings is not due to the return being usurious (riba-based), but rather due to the prohibition of dealing with someone whose wealth is predominantly unlawful.
