Hats off to Insomniac Games who was recently named one of “California’s Best Places to Work” in this year’s Employers Group survey. The only video-game studio to have made the list, Insomniac ranked as the fifth best place to work in California. The award represents the eighth “best workplace” honor the team has won since 2005.
2008 marked a momentous year for Resistance 2 and Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty, as well as the opening of its new North Carolina studio.
Insomniac continues to grow at a steady pace and is currently seeking new employees in a variety of production-related positions. If you’re interested in joining the Insomniac team, check out Insomniac’s career page for current openings:
As part of its upcoming 15th anniversary celebration, Insomniac is treating its employees and their significant others to a fun-filled cruise to the Bahamas. For additional company perks, take a look at Insomniac’s 2008 recruitment video below.
Congrats Insomniac and enjoy the well-deserved trip!
I wanna play with your pinballs! Can it be aranged?
Wow that makes me wanna quit my current career path, take game design and move to america … lol. GJ Insomniac.
i want a jab at Insomniac Games
I’m working my way through college right now in hopes for applying as a designer to the NC office. I live in KY so it’s awesome having a place on the East Coast as a prospect. I wont be out of school till 2011 but I’m using their apply page as a check list for what I should be learning.
Way to go, Insomniac! Congrats on the award!
Resistance 2 was phenomenal, and even better the second time through. Here’s hoping you guys shelve Ratchet for awhile (no offense) and either hit us with a new IP or some more Resistance goodness. Oh yeah, and stay exclusive to Sony! We need you guys…thanks!
grats Insomniac, your my favorite developers, keep up the good work. and i love that video, course its old but its still worth watching over and over lol.
CONGRATS INSOMNIAC
so did they say anything about resistance 3
ooooooo
congratulation Insomniac Games
we’re waiting for more great games from u
I remember seeing that video somewhere a while ago.
Congrats! When you guys get back, start working on Resistance 3?
I love companies like this… Large gaming companies that keep a small company feel…
Insomniac and Naughty Dog are BOTH great at this! : )
You guys are easily my favorite game studio, keep up the good work!!
@all those that said kz2 is better
This is just my opinion I beat resistance 2 in like first or second day and was into it. Killzone 2 just doesn’t have that feel for me. Your invading a enemy planet it should have had way more enemies and be intense For me it lacked that feel.
Anyway, back on topic I checked out the video again and yes I saw that one. It looks like a very great environment to work in. I hope that when I get my degrees hopefully soon I’ll be able to work there. Burbank is still in CA and I wouldn’t have to move too far away :)
What stands out the most to me is that they’re the only video game studio to make the list. A well-deserved congratulations for both their contributions and their integrity.
Sweet open up in New York!
Looks like an awesome place to work
btw doesn’t the guy with the guitar kinda
look like Jack Black O_o
it would be great to work there someday. im gonna try to.
Resistance and Ratchet and clank, some of the best games ever of there genre, insomniac rocks
Great job, good to see more people getting looked after,
Also cant wait to see some DLC for Resistance 2.
Congratulations and enjoy the trip. So now to the point what about the next game? Thanks for your hard work.
@ Aluc #64
It’s quite the opposite for me I thought I was the biggest Resistance fan out there and when I played the game I thought this is all they have to offer? Here we are being invaded and all the huge machines and creatures go down with ease, a few well placed rockets and presto city saved.
By any chance have you gotten to Visari’s Palace yet? For me that one level had more intensity than any of Resistance 2. To each their own I say, just thought i’d voice my opinion as well.
congrats! Make more great exclusives games, insomniac.
Hahaha You guys are too cool.
And the guy on the guitar reminds me of Jack Black. That seems like the funnest office to work in. Although I couldn’t really put myself at office jobs. Outdoors is my kind of job.
Anyways, congratulations!
Hope you have fun on that cruise.
congratulations.
I’m relieved to see you’re all insane. If you were normal I’d worry. The best art (yes, games are art) comes from lunatics. Can’t wait for Ratchet & Clank Future 2. Though I’m still mad at the way you killed Nathan Hale. He should have at least survived a trilogy. And yes bring back Cartwright. Anywho congratulations once again.
Insomniac rules! can’t wait to see what new game you guys are working on.
Congrats Insomniac. You guys definitely deserve that trip.
Congrats. Awesome news. Are there any maps for multiplayer for Resistance 2 planned for the near future? It would be awesome.
LOL at Ted Price. Great vid. :)
this is certainly one of the first places i’m going to try and get an interview for once I have my degree in Programming & business studies
Id work there just give me a mop and some mr clean
isnt that old news? i saw this before resistance got released?
Last summer I was voted Canadas #1 AND #1 event coordinator, I love the awards, I guess in a way I owe my sucess to playing all that Disruptor back in University instead of doing all that silly homework.
Thanks!!

lol That’s so cool :p
I wouldn’t mind starting my Game Dev career there! :p
in the song he sings that only happy endings happen in their games… Resistance 2 left me very very sad indeed.
OT: with a trip to the bahamas on the house i can def believe that working at insomniac is the BOMB!!
peace,
Lh
Congrats!!!
if (Insomniac >> epic)
puts(Insomniac my favorite studio);

puts(Insomniac my favorite studio);
now that u know my programing skillz… can you hire me
Way to make our drab day jobs seem even more drab Insomniac!
You can tell these guys have a great time making games through the quality of their titles.
HIRE ME!
I’m definitely going to get some training to work at Insomniac, R&C is awesome! I think that they’re starting to get like a one- tick pony, though, maybe they should start a new franchise.
P.S. Release date for 2009 R&C, please!
Resistence 3 i want
Congrats guys and gals, your games are great. Keep up the good work.
@waffman11
…have you not heard of Resistance? Resistance 2?
Not that I wouldn’t love a third IP from Insomniac…
@72 Yeah, I beat the game already. It was more annoying than intense sense i kept dying there. And it wasn’t as intense as you might think. Check out how many helghast actually attack you, count all of them max of 10 maybe 12. It wasn’t enough to be intense. Now R2 on the other hand. Trying to escape that last ship before it crashes was awesome!
Congrats!

congrats IG, i love r&c and resistance u guys r one of the best, keep it up :)
