Founded back in 1994, Insomniac Games is an independent videogame developer that has released award-winning hits for PlayStation, PS2 and now PS3 for over 14 years. We created the first three Spyro the Dragon games and the Ratchet & Clank franchise, which have combined to sell over 20+ million copies worldwide and have won numerous awards. Insomniac Games is the team behind Resistance: Fall of Man, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Resistance 2, and coming this fall - Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time!
We are based in beautiful downtown Burbank, CA where the sun shines just about every day of the year, and now we are expanding east! We are very excited about our studio in North Carolina! We attribute our continued success and stability to a philosophy based on five key principles, covering everyone from the CEO to our QA Testers: quality over quantity; innovation; collaboration; efficiency; and independence. Today, the company has grown to more than 150 hard-working, creative individuals, but we still hold onto the feel of a small indie developer, and the kitchen to prove it.
And when it comes to treating our employees right- it’s no mistake that Insomniac Games has been voted in the “Top 10” Best Small Companies to Work for THREE YEARS IN A ROW!!!! We are the only game company that has been honored in this way! Our employees gave their feedback, and their input on the company is what took us the distance! We value our employees, as we are only as strong as the people who work with us! So how about becoming a part of this amazing, collaborative team? Sound like a plan?
