In Spain this is quite normal ( they don't say it in the job offer, but is expected that you work more than 40 hours/week ). When you ask to get paid for those extra hours they usually laugh at you.
People outside Spain usually make jokes about Spanish "siesta", but in fact we are exploited in the same way this article describes.
( making jokes of course is ok, what is not ok is the exploitation )

There's life outside "consultancy companies" (which in Spain are basically just intermediaries that resell your work for a higher price without any added value).
