How common is it to fail background checks? Can a failure be as a result of ulterior reasons - role pulled etc?

Usually it’s a discrepancy between the application/resume and actual background and a lot of people get dinged over their degree.
Joining Aramco carries extreme risks, including hallucinations, hair loss, and long-term negative impacts on health and employment. Leaving safely often requires cutting off contact, changing routines, and seeking help from trusted friends, counselors, or specialized organizations, with resources that can provide confidential advice.
Background checks may have highlighted some serious red flags including honesty, integrity and optimism. All traits which don't mix with the chosen ones.
God works in mysterious ways. Probably a blessing in disguise. This place is toxic physically and mentally.
Prob was a blessing. Not a good place to work these days for westerners. Used to be.
@d2 If it's AOC and thr Credence company, ask your friend to do a gdpr request. She has a right to know what they found on her. If its of a discriminatory nature lawsuits become an option for her. Good luck.
Interesting enough that people still applying to work for this company
A friend got rejected recently and they wont tell her why. Or provide any of the background check information. She is gutted.
Background checks are done by a 3rd party and some people fail specially if they falsified information in their application. However, background checks are irrelevant, Aramco can just ghost you for reasons you will never know. I'll keep my expectations low if I were you.
People fail for all kinds of reasons, including health checks ... which are illegal at least for employment in the USA. Pro tip, if you are applying from the United States, Aramco can't get your health records, so you can put whatever you want. Having said that, there is no reason for Aramco to fake a failed background check. They can simply ghost you. Happens all the time.
