Working at Generation Citizen requires individuals who are comfortable with ambiguity and are up for the challenge of co-creating a new system or building a new approach, when needed.

GC has a great mission and some great people with strong talents.

Until there are some major changes at the top, nothing will improve. I know at least 3 colleagues (in addition to myself) who are actively looking for other jobs, and turnover has been horrendous over the last 6—12 months. 2-3 people control everything and there is a lack of trust for those individuals. People have tried to improve organizational effectiveness over the years but they have left. This is a culture where we pretend everything is wonderful due to a mission we all believe in but you don’t have to dig deep to uncover the dysfunction and incompetence.
