26 years ago, I was charged with a felony in CA. I pled nolo contendre to a misdemeanor and received court probation; no other penalties.

I recently underwent an extensive background check with my longtime employer and the case still showed up. Of course I had allocuted to it in advance and it was not a problem.

I was hiring for a role in Australia, and had to sign off an exception because the preferred candidate had an unpaid speeding ticket in California.

On the other hand we definitely hired people without speeding tickets who were likely deep agents for foreign states.
