I have been working at albelli full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Good location. Fairly good package.
Free beer and subsidised lunches.
Cons
Do have a lobbying culture(Friends prefer friends) in pockets, in highly paying technology teams. Certain expat team members do not speak English or the Dutch, lots of time even even while working, making it nearly impossible for rest to comprehend.
Workers council need to look into this matter.
Advice to Management
Instead of relying too much on internal referral schemes for recruiting high-paying roles, do advertise on popular Dutch and EU job boards, so that more local candidates could apply brining in real talent & healthy competition.
-Instead of sending recruitment tests via email (which could potentially be leaked by internal referrals to their friends) use independent test solutions like hackerrank, codility, Devskiller etc
- Listen to interview reviews given by external candidates (non-referral candidates) about the interview process.
Application
The process took 3+ weeks. I interviewed at albelli (London, England).
Interview
Had phone interview with the hiring manager in which they learned more about my previous work and responsibilities. Of course there was no creative with whom to talk about my actual design work or process. At the end I was told they'll get back to me and never did.
Interview Questions
Yesterday, albellians participated in the Make-A-Wish Business Challenge. We worked together in teams to fulfill wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses, and to not only give them an unforgettable day, but to also give them the strength and belief to get better.

Last Wednesday, albelli played host to the 2nd UX meet-up of 2018, organised by the "Amsterdam UX" community. This time, the topic was "Innovation and boundaries: UX and the spaces in-between".
Kevin Richardson, delivered a compelling speech about the responsibility of UX professionals to give users what they need, not just what they want.
