It depends on the company that is interviewing you. Some only ask for verification of employment and dates you were employed. Others may go a bit further. As a broad concept, your former employer can generally say anything he or she would like about you as long as it is true or referenced in the frame of opinion.

most employers have rules about what to say regardles sof whether they liked you or not and specifiy this over the phone, 'we are bound by rules which only allow us to verify employment" etc. however, if an employer really liked you, usually they will sneak in something which indicates this...
