As a programmer I have the ability to be selective with the jobs that I take. The first 7 interviewers did not convince me that Apple was a good place to work. The last interviewer convinced me that I didn't want to work with them or people like them.
Of course, things change. It would be difficult for Apple to change my mind about working there, but it is not impossible. Ask me again in 10 years :)
My point was that Apple is a large company with many teams. I didn’t understand why OP would write off an an entire company because they didn’t like 1 team.
