Hi @fluid gale, was the final round of behavioral with the talent attraction manager? I got scheduled for an interview after my team day.

[fluid gale]

yeah that should be the final behavioral @misty token

[misty token]

Thanks and how many days after the final behavioral did you get the offer?

[fluid gale]

got an email asking for the decision call a couple hours after. the final behavioral

[misty token]

@fluid gale I have my interview tomorrow. Quick question we’re they standard behavioral questions that you were asked?

[fluid gale]

yeah they were pretty standard with lots of opportunity to potentially showcase why you would be a good fit for them

[misty token]

Thanks so much!

[fluid gale]

np, good luck!

[misty token]

Had the interview, felt that I vibed well with the interviewer. I’ll get to know by EOD tomorrow. Let’s see how it goes.

[misty token]

So the recruiter messaged that they have sent out reference check emails

[lime dock]

What does reference check emails mean?

[misty token]

They asked me for 2 references after recruiter phone screen

Professional or academic references

[lime dock]

You mean after the final round recruiter interview, they ask to provide 2 references? But why?

[misty token]

I dunno

[lime dock]

What position you are interviewing?

[misty token]

New grad associate software engineer

[misty token]

This was before the final on-site

[lime dock]

So they want to double check your background through provided references before making offer decesion?

[misty token]

Probably

Did you get an offer without reference checks?

[lime dock]

No

I just finished the final round today

[misty token]

Oooh best of luck dude!

But were you asked references before?

If not they might ask otherwise they might proceed even without references.

[lime dock]

I remember they did that

[misty token]

So if they tell you that they’ve sent reference check emails it’s a good thing

[lime dock]

You got offer now?

[misty token]

Nope

I just got the message that they are doing reference check and according to everyone that I know it’s sometime standard procedure

[lime dock]

Are they checking through emails?

[misty token]

Hmm one of my references (internship manager) told me he scheduled a call

My other reference is my bachelors thesis professor (I’m international) so they’ll probably ask her in email

I don’t think they’ll call international numbers lol

[lime dock]

I see

They are really checking everything

[misty token]

Probably. Most non-big techs have reference checks and even if they give you an offer (big tech or whatever) the offer might have a clause that states that the offer is contigent on successful professional reference check.

Even Apple asked for professional references when I interviewed with them lol

[cold osprey]

So do u know what they asked during the reference check calls? Are they looking to verify all the bullet points on your resume, or are they looking to just verify that you worked there at the specified dates and did not get disciplined?

[misty token]

Behavioral wise they ask stuff like what did I work on, how was I in a team, why did I leave the company, was I fired?

[cold osprey]

do u think they'd show the bullet points on your resume and ask if those are true? 😅
