Does anyone know anything more about interning at US companies as a foreigner that's not studying there? I know you can apply for the J1 visa, but I'm not sure how hard it is for companies to take on interns on such a visa. I'm from the Netherlands by the way.

Companies, at least those with an official internship program, will take care of your J1 visa. Don't worry about that.
