I'm on my way to my second day of internship at a large European company that has become popular as a company that treats their employees well. I'm staying here for 8½ hours a day (including breaks) with no pay (I do get one free meal per day).
Realistically that means that I'm actively spending time for my employer from 9 in the morning to 8 in the evening, which grants me no time to attend my regular appointments, namely therapies that are necessary for me as I live with severe disability. Besides, everyone says it's a privilege to have an opportunity to get work experience here.
What's your internship culture like? Is that normal?
