Hey guys, I recently got caught doing something stupid (possession) and currently have an ACD on my record for which I am in the process of getting the case dismissed and sealed. Does anyone know when companies usually conduct the background check (think big 4, IBM, Accenture), and what kinds of charges are auto-disqualifications? I live in the US btw and this isn't for public sector

Had to Google ACD. Adjournment in contemplation of dismissal for those who are wondering. It basically means the prosecutor is delaying the case to see if you're on good behavior for some amount of time (e.g. 6 months). If so, the case goes away.
Question for OP: Did you have one transgression and you're just waiting for the ACD time to pass? Or you had an ACD in progress and now have another charge that might invalidate the ACD and refresh the original charge? One situation seems far less favorable than the other.
To your first question, only one firm (Del) with which I interviewed ran a check before final rounds. The others (think MBB/Bz/other B4) would have waited/did wait until after I accepted my offer, which means I only had one more.
To your second question, I have no idea what is on each firm's auto-disqualify list, though I'd imagine felonies and crimes of moral turpitude are viewed more harshly than DUI, simple possession, and underage drinking. Providing false info on an application though is usually grounds for offer retraction/termination, so be prepared to tackle the issue if it arises.
Good luck.
I only had one transgression and am trying to get the ACD dismissed early. And unfortunately, this mistake happened while I was interviewing, so I never lied on any of my apps, but its a new piece of info
Also, should I tell HR?
