How does the employment background check/verification process work for PE?

I listed my major GPA which is higher than my cumulative GPA I am not lying about my cumulative GPA, I just didn't include it and only a few places asked my cumulative GPA (which is below a 3.5) just wondering if this will become an issue later when I do get an offer
