Any risk of "failing" a background check?
I am a senior at a semi-target with an offer at a BB AM shop. They sent me the background check form already and it has space for past work references. I emailed my bosses and they are mostly onside so I think I should be good. I think one of my bosses from my past internships is a little peeved at me, but no deal breakers.
I don't have any criminal record or anything else sketchy that may come up in a background check, so I'm good on that front.
The only reason I'm a little concerned is my last 3 internships have all been at boutiques and I've never had to fill out this kind of paperwork before. Is it pretty standard? I'm afraid of telling people I have an offer in case it gets revoked due to a background check or something.
no, there's no chance unless you lied or have a criminal record. this isn't anything more than a formality for the vast majority of people.

Relax, you'll be fine.
Your references will never say anything bad about you unless you actually did criminal/shady stuff/were fired for breaking the rules at your last job. Doesn't matter if they hated you or thought you were a dumbass. They have nothing to gain by saying "this guy sucks" and can get sued out the ass for disparaging you like that. I wouldn't worry.
edit: will HR ever tell you if you have failed/cleared the background check?
they usually wont tell you if you passed since almost 100% of people do and its a waste of time. sounds like youre fine - don't lose sleep over this.
