It might sound like a lot, but in the Swiss context, it's not that much. It's a really expensive country to live in, especially in the main cities like Zurich and Geneva. For you 2,256€ is great, but in Switzerland, it's considered good income for a student/intern, that's how expensive it is. (compare that to Portugal where they can pay a intern 150€/month).

Yep, I know a couple of senior engineers working at Google in Poland for the same salary (as that min in Switzerland). Not that it's great salary there, but that's the market and big companies like Google use that situation to get cheap labour.

That's shit whats worse is that those companies exploit the EU market even further by moving them around the EU while keep paying them in their home countries even with some extra payments for sustenance it's still several times cheaper than hiring local engineers in the UK, France or Germany.
