SEGA. . . What do you think of when you hear that word? Do you think of the console with the iconic, harmonized voice fire ups or do you think of the countless gaming hits from Sonic the Hedgehog, Golden Axe, or the Persona series? . . .

Globally, SEGA has over 5,000 employees passionately working to bring the best gaming entertainment to players around the planet.

There's never been a more exciting time in the company's history to join SEGA!
