Pros
PTO is Astounding
401k is unheard of levels
Gym is great
Generally good coworkers
Pay is above average, and that's before the great bonus

Software Development here is the grindiest soul crushing thing you could imagine. Enough that I'm continually weighing it against the ludicrous pros.
Work for a team 3x our size. Understaffed ITAdvice to Management
Hire more developers and BAs. This is just depressing now. Seriously. As good as my compensation is, it should be a no brainer to stay. Instead there's so much garbage work being shared around, I'm actively starting to hate my career path.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Chesapeake Energy full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
15% 401K match; Generous stock awards; Largest company gym I've ever seen
Cons
drink the cool-aid mentality permeates, feels like I'm back on Greek Row sometimes.
Advice to Management
This may have changed under Lawler, but when I was there, management had a habit of hiring people straight out of college, some with no real experience in oil and gas (read: because they're good looking), so that CHK didn't have to pay them as much as someone with more experience and could do the job better.
