At the heart of Quantic Dream’s DNA is our dedication to creating extraordinary experiences, seeking to take gamers on emotionally charged journeys. From the beginning, our studio has challenged the boundaries of how humans are represented in video games, whether by including performances by professional actors, driving towards even greater photorealism, the depth and range of emotions generated by our stories, or by our uncompromising artistic direction. This endeavour has been possible thanks to our highly skilled teams, who share a passion for creating lasting memories for all gamers escaping into our worlds.
These teams, specialties and technologies that Quantic Dream is so proud of are now presented via exclusive content on our social media channels, with the aim of sharing our expertise and our ongoing desire to push the envelope!

Welcome to QUANTIC DREAM!
INTERNSHIPS, THE FOUNDATION FOR BUILDING A CAREER.
Experience professional life, share the life of our teams, acquire new skills. Whether you are an engineering or business school graduate, or have completed a specialist university course, internships at QUANTIC DREAM represent a real opportunity for starting out on your career path. And if your talent is recognised and you wish to do so, you will have every opportunity to work in our teams on a longer-term contract.
Your career path is founded on your educational background and all the additional and enriching experience you have gained.
Your choice of internship is therefore very important: the studies or assignments you are allocated can be an opportunity to test and validate your skills.
Internships can also help you identify the professional environments (values, working methods etc.) which best suit you and allow you to flourish.
Our internship policy aims to ensure a good balance between your aims and our interests.
Every year, Quantic Dream offers students at the end of their course, opportunities for a paid internship; assignments with contents and results which meet real needs. Quantic Dream favours paid long-term internships or shorter internships of 4 to 6 months (rather than sabbatical-leave or gap-year internships) for more effective professional immersion and skills development.
This philosophy also applies to the sandwich-year format, whether in the form of a professionalisation or apprenticeship contract, but we are not necessarily able to offer these every year.
What support is given during these professionalisation periods?
We offer you close support, thanks to a tutor who will mentor you throughout your internship. In practical terms, your tutor will:
• Help you integrate in the team and regularly discuss with you how your assignment is going;
• Share their experience of the company;
• Facilitate your acquisition of good professional skills (increasing accountability and autonomy) and broaden your view of the company.
