Amazon Background check only asked for address, DOB and SSN. No references or previous employment dates , previous salary were asked. Is this normal ?

  • For me, I got an email today to start BGC. They only asked basic info such as Name, SSN, current address. Was it the same for you ? Do they come back later asking more information AND generally how long they take to complete the BGC ?

    Yeah apparently that's the case for US hires. I got my SDE L5 offer last month and had the background check today. Just DOB, SSN and criminal history, like you mentioned. No previous employment, references or education.
    Really surprising.

    That’s wild. I’m waiting on a FB background check and tbh even theirs surprised me... just latest education, and last three employers. No details were even asked for employers, just start and end dates. Microsoft’s went into much more detail.

  • Do you guys know how long it takes for the background check to clear after you fill and submit it ?
    I accepted offer last month and my h1 got approved couple of days ago but background check is not even started yet.

      When is your joining date? You get the background check email 60 days before your start date.
      Email your recruiter if it's within that time frame
