Naughty Dog is the developer of critically acclaimed and top-selling titles including the Crash Bandicoot franchise, Jak and Daxter franchise and Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. Were 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. Were 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 cant 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.
