Yes. What you have written about in your question is what is commoinly known as "court probation" as opposed to formal probation after being convicted of a crime. However, if you satisfy the terms of the "court probation" the charges against you most likely will be dismissed. In answering your employment question, you need to get a definition from your potential employer as to what "probation" means.
