I got to the group interview where I was able to meet all the team members in the department to which I applied. With 25 minutes per person, the total was around 5 hours. My interview went well, according to the recruiter. She quickly set me up for final interviews with other departments.

A few days before the interview, the recruiter notified me that it had been canceled without giving any explanation. I spent a lot of time trying to find out the reason from an insider at Apple. It turned out that the other department did not think I was qualified for the position. I also have a similar background to someone in the other department, which could imperil them, according to the insider.

Even though I want to try again and prove myself, after a second thought, I think there is no reason to bargain for a job in a company where one department can easily interfere with the business of the rest of the departments. Such political matters will definitely affect my loyalty if I actually work within that company.
