I've been in Qatar for a couple of years now and have worked for the old sponsor and now for Holmesglen Qatar and I think the comments above are pretty misleading. With the old sponsor it was OK but I get my pay on time now and at the same time each month not like before when it was always late.
I also don't have any problems with the managment at Holmesglen Qatar. I have found everyone in the office to be really helpful to me - often with things that they really don't have to help me with but they do.
In terms of Qatar - you either like it here or you don't. If you aren't going to make an effort then you probably won't like it and shouldn't come. Yes, there is construction everywhere - that is Qatar. It is a rapidly developing country.
I also agree with the last person - my car is fully insured - of course the company is not going to give you a car that isn't fully insured - at the end of the day they would still be responsible for it cause its in their name.
Some people are only happy in their own little corner of the world and won't expand their horizons - for those people they will always find something to complain about even when there is nothing to complain about. We are all grown ups here and have to take responsibility for ourselves - if you expect the management to wipe your nose for you then don't come!!
