This question is about Berkshire Hathaway.
Yes, Berkshire Hathaway hires felons on a case-by-case basis. Keep in mind that the nature of the positions as well as which subsidiary the position is for will play a large role in whether or not a felony conviction is acceptable.
Also, keep in mind that Berkshire Hathaway will perform a background check prior to an offer of employment. This background check will look for misdemeanor and felony convictions at both the state and federal levels.
The background check company will also contact all of your previous employers and verify your employment, so you need to make sure you provide accurate and verifiable information.
On your resume, be sure to account for all prior work history that is applicable to the job you are applying for. Be honest about where that work history came from (even if it came from time in prison).
Sell them on the fact that they don't have to train you and play up all skills and education you have that are relevant to the position.
If you get the interview, be honest about your past and your convictions. They will be more likely to give you a chance than if they find out after the fact.
