About the Program

WHY TREYARCH?

Treyarch is a AAA award-winning video game studio, driven by the desire to create epic gameplay experiences, and the birthplace of Call of Duty Zombies.

WHAT YOU GET

Experience working on AAA games, hands on training working in our game engine and asset pipeline, and training by top developers.

DURATION

12 weeks, beginning in May and ending in August

SOCIAL/EVENTS

You will be able to participate in select learning & development and social activities alongside other interns throughout the enterprise. On top of that, Treyarch will host many of its own online activities, trainings, and workshops.

ADDITIONAL PERKS

Interns will still reap the benefits of free swag, reimbursement on select WFH expenses, weekly food delivery budget, discounted games and more! Membership has its privileges, even in a virtual world.

COMPENSATION

We offer competitive compensation. Housing or stipends may be offered on a case by case basis, at the company's discretion. And we’ve got a pretty good eye for talent, if we may say so ourselves: on average, we hire slightly more than half of our interns!

Testmonials

The Treyarch Internship Program kickstarted my game industry career in the best way possible.

Department:
VFX
Year:
2019

Not only did I get to publish live content for Call of Duty and its millions of players, but also got to meet some of the most intelligent, helpful, and friendly people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The three months were an absolute blast between the studio visits, E3, teambuilding events, all-hands meetings, and ultimately just being treated like a trusted and valued member of the studio.  I am thrilled to be staying on for our next project and hope to work here for many more years to come.”

“I had dreamed my whole young life of working in the game industry, and the internship program at Treyarch provided me the entrance to that opportunity...

Throughout my time as an intern, no matter what I was learning about or practicing, the people around me never hesitated for a second to answer my questions and provide me their focused and kind attention. There was a great sense of comradery between me and the other interns, knowing that each of us were there with a purpose, and it was thanks to the mentorship team for providing and reinforcing that...Ultimately for me the internship program completely achieved what it set out to do, and now I work in my dream job as a Designer in a Triple-A game studio.”
