Yes.  This is pretty horrible.
The degree course I am doing has a year-in-industry.
Caldera offered such a placement, so I was working there from July '97
through to August '98.

It was great fun.. fixing bugs.. adding new ones.
I was there when they got Doom to run on emm386.

I was hoping to return this summer, but there's no chance of that now.
