Insomniac, keep it up
58 days 2 hours ago | by: xplosneer
Me here loves Insomniac.  They are the best devs to date in my opinion.  I mean really. 
They pump out great games every year(or almost).
Ratchet and Clank
Going Commando
Up your Arsenal
Deadlocked
The Original(as in GOOD) Spyro the Dragon
Resistance
Resistance 2
Ratchet and Clank Future
Really, look at the metacritic scores for these games!  They're maybe not 95 but there mostly high 80's-low 90's.  That may not seem like much but to crank that out every year since 2003 is IMPRESSIVE.

Plus, what of this new "Nocturnal" open source project?  Sharing how to code the PS3 with devs that consistantly put out great games is just showing how much they give. 

Not to mention all the benefits they give to their employees.  Seriously, pinpall, pizzas, massages twice a week, giant chess, I want to work there when I'm older! 

Just giving props to who I feel are the best developers in the industry.

1 - So I take it your still a young'n.
Thats coo, but before you go and try to work for them you might want to get you feet wet a little somewhere else, EA, Activision or if you can get into a Dev besides Insomniac, that will only play to your benefit in the end.

I've been in QA for about 2 years and hearing the type of quality they are after still scares me a little. Theres no doubt in my mind that I can land a Job there right now, but on the current Project I'm in, I'm currently (along with 1 other) the lead tester on the PS3 sku.

But I'm the only one on a Devkit so, yeah after this project is Over I will have about 9 months of PS3 devkit experience to go along with the rest.

So yeah get your feet wet first, then go for the Job. It honestly helps keep you motivated as well, since they will most likely treat you better at Insomniac then most Pub/Dev houses and you wouldn't want to lose your job for that reason alone.
