Nope, I was upfront about my grades...plus it helped that I knew the guy hiring me when he was in school.

Yes, they asked for my transcript as part of the application process... whether they actually looked at it or not is another question

I've never had my transcript pulled... I've worked for 4 different IT companies over 14 years - started in 1992. Companies rang from a small 60 person IT firm to one of the largest multinational conglomorates out there (although they bought my whole company - not me in particular).

Nope, but two years (and four jobs) after graduation I'm being asked to provide my transcript for a job I was offered. Of course, it's a government job so it makes sense..

Yes - VAMC. They just let an employee go for failure to provide a copy after several requests.

Yes. Washington State University. They wanted to check what my coursework was to make sure I had taken the necessary classes.
