The answer

It is not permissible to work at this institution because it is involved in Riba (usury/interest), and working there constitutes cooperation in sin and aggression. Allah Almighty says: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty." (Quran 5:2). And whoever leaves something for the sake of Allah, Allah will provide for him from where he does not expect, as Allah Almighty says: "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect." (Quran 65:2-3).
