This is horrible! I hope it was worth it for your career at least? I don’t understand why they wouldn’t at least cover the costs for things they’re imposing on you like the dress code for example.

It was a mandatory internship, 12 weeks. I learned things, but most of all I learned that I sure as hell do not want to work there. International company with a start-up mentality.

That sure as heck sounds disgusting. They would’ve fired you soon enough anyway.
