I'm about to start a new job and they require a drug test for me to work there. It's a pretty big company, a company everyone is familiar with. Do/would they test for steroids?

Usually no...but they can do a lie detector, which is a different story.

Hiring practices in the USA are subjective. If you fail a "did you use drugs" question, you probably wont be hired. You can take it to court, but you'd be foolish to waste the $ on it.

Definitely 100% NOT. And they are not going to do a lie detector either, you have nothing to worry about.

What if I did do drugs back when I was under 18..would that affect my status?

High level positions.. COmpany wants to make sure you left other jobs for right reasons. Make sure you are not a thief. If a company is going to pay you 500K+ a year, expect a lie detector, they are putting a large investment in you.
