Preposition with ,,organisation"

Question

What is correct? Looking forward to working at your organisation or in your organisation?

Thank you

It may depend on the context, and if you're addressing an individual or a board. "Organization" often refers to a governing body/business, where "in" would likely be more appropriate than "at", which would refer to a location/headquarters/plant
Some other suggestions,

I look forward to working with your organization
I look forward to working under your organization
I look forward to working as a member/part of your organization
I look forward to working with you and your organization

In terms of an objective answer, Google Scholar shows:

294 hits for working in your organization
99 hits for working in your organisation
57 hits for working at your organization
20 hits for working at your organisation

Although this is not definitive, it suggests that, strictly between your two sentences, in is the more common preposition to use.

Everest Nepal · Answer

At denotes location, so it is incorrect to use at while stating that you want to work in the organisation as an employee. If your motive is to inform that you are going to work at the location of the organisation then you should use at instead of in. So, it would be better to use in if you are referring to the organisation not location.
