What's it like working for Qatar Airways?

Hello,

I am currently in the interview process with Qatar Airways for a position within the commercial department. I have been doing research on the company and most of what I've read so far is generally negative comments on the work environment, albeit most of the reviews are several years old.

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the current state of QR and what its like to work at HQ? I've read that there is high turnover, strict management, difficulty in earning raises/promotions and other discouraging comments. I was hoping to get some more recent information on what it's like to work at QR. Is what I read still true or true at all? Any information or advice would be appreciated!

Thank you in advance,
777Flyer

must be lots of middle level managers and probably from SL who must have no idea what they are supposed to do and at their usual games and petty politics of playing around and in the process making a bigger mess wherever they go

Dear Friend,

Its Human pyscology, that we (mankind) keep complaining in everything even if we are satisfied.

For everything, there will be always a negative comment or feedback, but its your decision to take up or not. If you feel that you can sustain with the package, fulfill the promises which u make during the interview, show ur performance for outstanding results, flexible, situation handling, etc..., then you are in safe hands (QR).

Assumptions will be different, but true environment is when u experience. To me QR is one of the best fortune companies, excellent corporate environment, high standards delivering team, etc, and to be a part in the family will be your goodtime, so be positive and take up the Job if offered.

Hope its clear and you can write to me for anymore assistance on the same [email protected]

From what I've heard, it's close to hell. 5-Star hell, so to say.
