About our company…
Naughty Dog is the developer of critically acclaimed and top-selling
titles including the Crash Bandicoot franchise, Jak and Daxter
franchise and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. We're a relatively small
team with a highly decentralized and collaborative work environment –
we value feedback about any aspect of our game development from any
of our team members. We're a tightly knit group and you can
frequently find us participating in yoga sessions in the office,
spending lunch playing out on the court basketball, foosball in our
lunchroom or around town in our frequent group evenings out. Since
Naughty Dog is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Computer
Entertainment America, we also get a lot of the perks that comes from
being in the Sony family – movie screenings on the Sony Pictures lots
and discounts on electronics, music, movies and PlayStation hardware
and software. Of course, you just can't beat our location. Naughty
Dog is based near the ocean – and beaches – in Santa Monica,
California, where beautiful weather and fair temperatures grace us
year-round.
