Review

I was excited to work in the field of electrical engineering, at a drone designing start-up. I was met at the airport and driven to my flat in the center of Madrid. I made friends with my flat-mates and enjoyed their company. However, choosing to go to Madrid in the Summer was a bad idea, due to the excessive heat. My room had no air conditioning, and I had trouble sleeping at night due to the heat. My job was poorly structured, and my boss treated me and my coworker with little respect or respect for our time. We were supposed to work 20 hours/week, but ended up working up to 50 hours a week on our project which was to 3D design a drone. This project was given to us with no instructions, guidance, or software licenses, so I had to buy the software license out of my own pocket. The best part of my trip was definitely exploring the city itself, as I didn't have the best experience in my job.
