Splash Damage company

What we're all about

Here at Splash Damage, our goal is simple: We want to develop genre-leading AAA experiences that are highly regarded among reviewers and gamers alike. We've already created the Enemy Territory franchise for id Software winning over 100 awards & nominations and are now working with Bethesda Softworks to create BRINK, a new, original title coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in 2010.

As a company, our highest priority is to make sure that staff are well-paid. Splash Damage is proud to be able to offer higher than average salaries to its employees, and we make sure all full-time members of staff have private health care and dental insurance, and also offer a contributory pension scheme.

We also want to ensure everyone here enjoys a healthy work/life balance. Thanks to our flexitime arrangement, employees are able to manage their start time and working hours, and can convert overtime into extra holiday days. And to help you keep in shape, we offer a complimentary health club and gym membership to all full-time members of staff.

And finally, we pride ourselves on our cultural diversity. With team members hailing from some 18 countries, we are about as diverse as it gets.

What's like here

Above all, Splash Damage offers an extremely friendly and relaxed working environment. Everyone here shares a deep passion for video games and that really shows in daily office life. Our open-plan offices further enhance this kind of collaboration - the entire development team is in one large room, which keeps everyone - from studio head to play testers - completely accessible.

This welcoming atmosphere doesn't stop at the office doors either. Staff regularly get together for a multitude of social events, including weekly pub quizzes and football practice. We also have regular company events, such as parties (including our annual Black Mass Halloween party) and pub nights.

We like everyone to know what's going on, so every morning each feature team gets together for a quick meeting to keep people in the loop. We also gather the entire company every other week for a project and studio update.

Finally, when you come to Splash Damage, we want you to think of it as a career and not just another job to put on your resume. We make sure that everyone here is allowed to grow based on their abilities and interests, which has resulted in an exceptionally low staff turnover rate.
