Somewhat
Yes, and decided to leave and be transferred elsewhere.
Frustration, mistrust of business people, the visa problem, in spite of help from the company.
Once you have friends, they are wonderful friends. The food is not so healthy but delicious, the beer is the best. Magical architecture, beautiful countryside, Prague has excellent, inexpensive public transportation
I think it's a leftover from the communist era, the mistrust, the retaliation for a slight you didn't even know you committed, no one will make a decision in the Visa office. It's necessary to work through your job or an attorney. My friend got rejected because he did not "have a purpose". He's retired and was told point blank, after many months, that he could not be here just because he wanted to. I left because of him. He's older and I've helped him for years, but we are not related. He was not a birth father, but a true father when I was growing up.
I worked very hard to learn a few essential phrases only to be told that the other person does not speak English. There are not as many english speakers as you have been led to believe.
Don't come without a job. If you don't understand something fully, hire a good translator, particularly if it's something legal. Some people think they know more English than they do, and you can be (un)intentionally misled.

I feel like you have described my own (personal) experiences in Prague, but without the examples of pure horror. This is is an amazing city for a holiday. If you desire to live here- set aside plenty of funds to be swindled out of, PRAY you never have an urgent medical situation ( even with CZ comprehensive insurance), enjoy a life of solidarity, and living amongst those who have strong negative feelings regarding Expats.
