Procurement at Chesapeake Energy
Declined Offer – Reviewed Nov 8, 2012
Interview Details – very cold and distant. Interviewer seemed disinterested, and it was almost as if i was just an interview to get out of the way and meet quota. She was not knowledgeable of that the position consisted of, and used a "cookie cutter" answer to all my questions about the company. Very generic interview and not very sincere
Interview Question – what is your biggest weakness? Answer Question
Reason for Declining – had not heard good things about the company

Training at Chesapeake Energy
No Offer – Interviewed in Mar 2012 – Reviewed Mar 19, 2012
Interview Details – My initial communications were through networking; upon application however Chesapeake's HR department very quickly picked up hand assumed control of he candidate process. The initial screening was a background call, completed over approximately 30 minutes. The initial interview was a behavioral based interview which, was challenging to come up with some of the scenarios, but the hiring manager was helpful and it did not feel adversarial at all. This lasted about 45-50 minutes. The manager was very good at communication between interviews.
Interview Question – Tell me about a time when you had to deal with non performance of a team member. Answer Question

Associate Landman at Chesapeake Energy
No Offer – Interviewed in Jan 2011 – Reviewed Feb 20, 2012
Interview Details – This was the worst interview I have ever been on. I will take partial blame as I became incredibly nervous with really bad anxiety the day of the interview. Also, I had friends who interviewed for the same position (and essentially got job offers) whom all said it was not a bad interview and they barely had to talk at all. Knowing that before-hand, I still went in and realized shortly after that I said too much. All I really had to do was just sit there. I wanted to seem super interested in the job and the company, but my interviewers didn't have the the personality for that. They were the most boring, mudane people that I have ever met in my life. CHK should really re-consider who they have interviewing prospects. They were not people-friendly in the least.

Intern at Chesapeake Energy
No Offer – Interviewed in Sep 2009 – Reviewed Nov 18, 2011
Interview Details – Suggest having predetermined potential answers to common behavioral questions. They have a technical interviewer and a human resources interviewer. The company can take a while to respond, particularly compared to other energy companies. Interviewers were nice, but a little distant. The interview was a mix of technical and behavioral questions.

Engineering Technician at Chesapeake Energy
No Offer – Interviewed in Sep 2011 – Reviewed Sep 13, 2011
Interview Details – I received a quick phone interview within 12 hours of submitting my application online and was asked to show up for a series of interviews over the course of three hours the next week. However, it was obvious when I went in for the face to face interviews that they had already chosen another candidate. The interviewers rushed through their preset list of questions, kept changing the position description and desired requirements, and some wouldn't even look me in the eye from the moment they entered the room. Then the final interviewer left me sitting there alone in the room when he was done since he was 'sure' that HR was on it's way. It was obvious that they were wasting my time and I was appalled at how rude and unprofessional they were. I had already typed up the email to have my application pulled from consideration when they sent the email stating they were hiring someone else. I definitely won't be applying for jobs at this company again.
