New Not so fast
I've seen multiple candidates get most of the way through the process then die at the references stage.

In general you get a list of things that you were potentially concerned about based on what you saw in the interview. If the references confirm your worries, then that's it. If the references comfort you on the issues that you have, then they get one step further in the process.

Cheers,
Ben
