Do dismissed charges show up on employment background checks?

I was charged with 2 offenses namely sexual harassment and indecent viewing/photography but with no arrest back in 2014. Both were dismissed. Never pled guilty or any pre trial diversion. The DA dropped the charges. Secondly I was arrested for public intoxication in 2016. Again the charges were completely dismissed. Never pled guilty or any pre trial diversion. In this case, I did get the records expunged after dismissal. So I was never convicted of any crimes nor did I ever do a pre trial diversion. I have a background check for a big oil company. The questions I have are 1. Do I need to disclose these charges which were completely dismissed? 2. Will they show up on the background check?

Arrest Expunction for a felony charge?

I currently have a felony charge (domestic violence charge with impeding breath). Its been over 90 days and still have not been indicted and DA is currently reviewing to see if the case could be dismissed. Once the case is dismissed do I have to wait passed the statute of limitations for the arrest to be expunged even though I am completely innocent? If I do, then how long would I have to wait to get the record seal opposed to having it expunged? Just seems very unfair if I have to wait passed statue when I am innocent, and the arrest could hinder me from getting a job. Also if dismissed with prejudice would that further effect how soon i can have arrest expunged or the record sealed?
