14 DAY TRIAL // Most of you are probably familiar with Insomniac Games for their rolling out Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and Resistance: Fall of Man, both PlayStation 3 titles. Well, guys over at Insomniac are proud to announce that for the third-straight year, their company has been recognized as the first and only videogames company nominated for the "50 Best Small & Medium Sized Companies to Work for in America" list. Party time!
For 2007, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) has placed Insomniac 8th in the small companies category, says an official press release. Insomniac Games is the only company in the history of the small business category to earn a Top 10 ranking for three-straight years, remains the first and only videogames developer included on the list, and is the only company in the "TV, Film and Video" category to be recognized this year. The rankings were announced before an estimated audience of 15,000 at the SHRM 59th Annual Conference & Exposition in Las Vegas.
"Last year was among the most challenging in Insomniac's history as we prepared to release Resistance: Fall of Man worldwide with the launch of PLAYSTATION 3," said Ted Price, Insomniac Games' founder and CEO. "Yet we delivered a top-rated and top-selling game -- on time -- while retaining our top-10 ranking as one of the best small companies to work for in America . Therefore, it's especially gratifying to demonstrate again that it's possible in the games industry to achieve excellent results while maintaining a collaborative and stimulating workplace culture."
This of course, doesn't mean that Insomniac won't be working on newer titles or sequels to the already popular ones they've released, but I'm sure a week-long party is in order for the company. Good for you Insomniac! Oh, but do try to get some sleep after the party is over...
