Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is a company where extremely many people would like to work, and this has allowed it over time to choose "on the fly" the people who will work in its offices around the world. A designer from Great Britain had an unpleasant experience of being checked for employment, he went through a very complex process to finally be refused by those from Cupertino. Luis Abreu is the name of the person who was invited by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), to be checked for employment, but in the end he received a negative answer after a particularly convoluted procedure.
The designer went through 3 checks with employees of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, 5 FaceTime calls with other people specialized in recruitment and a visit to Cupertino, so that at the end of this process he was refused without much explanation from the Americans. Apple paid all the expenses involved in this process, including those related to the trip, so that Apple wasted time and money with a person who did not prove to be suitable. The strange part for the designer is that during the interviews he was told that Apple does not invest time and money in recruiting people he does not trust, so the refusal was unusual.
In a lengthy article, the designer talks about the FaceTime conferences of 30 minutes each, the checks of 25 minutes each and the long drive in Cupertino, presenting everything the way the Apple company hires the people who develop its future software and hardware products.
