Importance of reference checks in FAANG

I've only worked at one company in the US. If I interview with FAANG companies, presumably they'll ask for reference checks at some stage - I'm reluctant to offer up anybody in my current company as a reference until I actually resign. What's the attitude towards a candidate without any references? Or references from overseas? Or at what stage of the interviewing process are these requested?

Why does your company name say ‘New’? Where do you work?

No reference checks at FB. Just a standard background check to make sure you didn’t lie in the application (verifies past employers, schools, etc)

Amazon asked me for references, but they never called anyone I provided them.
