The answer

It is not permissible to work with usurious deposit accounts, nor to seek out the most profitable bank and deal with it for depositing funds, even if it is for the company, due to the prohibition of aiding in usury. However, if there are fields of work within the company that are unrelated to usurious transactions, then there is no harm in working therein and benefiting from the wage.
