I've signed an offer for FT over a month ago and I am waiting for next steps regarding my background check. They told me they would ask for my consent before they began - is it common to wait this long without hearing anything? When do they usually conduct background checks?

you won't hear back from them unless something came up wrong
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I haven't provided them with any info whatsoever (references, etc.) so I don't believe they'd be able to start anything yet. Is it common to wait this long for them to initiate the background check even after signing an offer?
Same position - accepted offer over a month ago and haven't heard anything since. I think checks happen in the spring?
