Sure.
But if the employer actually can (and is willing to) provide references of happy past employees, it says a lot about their culture.
They sometimes will asks candidates for references from their previous employers - so it's only fair for them to do the same.

> talk to their current and past employees
That's brilliant.
From now on I'm going to ask employers for a list of references of past employees I can contact.

Which says something about that employer too.
There are some of my previous employers where I'd be happy to be a reference. Others that I wouldn't want to.
