Chesapeake No Longer Cares About People
Jan 29, 2023 - Senior GeoscientistRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Benefits are mostly competitive with industry peers Location in Oklahoma City beats living in Houston Great gym
Cons
Since Chesapeake has been under new management following bankruptcy, the culture has taken a nosedive. Layoffs have continued after bankruptcy and the company is operating with a very lean staff. The remaining staff are over-worked and the company is not concerned about retaining anyone. Chesapeake has become a factory for drilling horizontal wells and does not have the staff or the desire to solve problems.

Great people who work well together. Room for advancement. Wonderful benefits.
Cons
Layoffs can happen any given moment and you never know if you will be one of the victims. It’s stressful.
