During my interview, I was asked if I ever worked for their company or one of its affiliates - to which I answered yes; I had worked for one of the companies it had acquired in the past.
My questions are:
- Will the company investigate my prior work history with the
bought-out company? - What level of information will they have about my prior work with the
bought-out company? - Will my having resigned from my prior post have any affect on their
decision (assuming they have this level of detail.)
I've received an offer contingent upon my preemployment screening - which includes criminal background, employment verification, and drug test.

"When answered yes, will a large company nvestigate your exit and the ability to re-hire before moving on with an interview?" - yes, they will investigate. But not always pre-interview. Sometimes it isn't done until an offer is made contingent. And if you answer No, a good background check will find out anyway.

So I'm assuming you did work for this company or affiliate? What were the circumstances on leaving? Are you eligible for re-hire?
– Joe Strazzere

I did answer yes and since my employment they have been acquired by another. Both are large companies and the preinterview process begins with their in-house recruiters. When the offer is made they use a third-party verifier. I am only asking because you truly never know if you are trying-hirable nothing major and good relations with mgt. but I wasn’t perfect:) the offer is a huge opportunity and the pre employment screening is agonizing. So my hopes is they wouldn’t have wasted months pre offer before they verified internally.

To answer your question. I did resign due to the fact that the company was considering shutting the office location. They allowed for the employees to pursue other jobs.

I just submitted a drastic rewrite to the question. Hope nobody (especially the OP) minds - but I think the question as-written isn't really conveying what the OP is asking. And the title was atrocious for the actual question - it made it sound like they were doing a survey for who worked at Company XYZ.
