QA Accomodation

Muhammad
By Muhammad

Hello

I'm in the process of evaluating an offer from Qatar Airways, can someone please let me know the significance of their grading system for the IT dept? Also, if someone could let me know what kind of accomodations they provide for there employees. They are promising me a fully furnished 2-3 bedroom apartment. Does anyone currently reside in an apartment provided by QA? I certainly dont want to walk into an apartment which is run down and furnished with old furniture?

Will really appreciate some responses, since getting a decent accomodation is an important issue for my family and myself.

Thank you,

Thank you both for the info....

So does QA rent out the whole building for their own employees, or do they place people in any building where an apartment might be available....what I mean is will my family be able to meet other QA families within the building?

initially they were not providing the accomodation, but now they are. I guess I should just go for it now!(Sill jittery though)

Any ideas about their grading system?

Well If in general you compare accomodations, QA certainly gives you good accomodation, usually the flats are well maintained, I know many friends residing in QA accomodation. They are certainly above average, not the best but good enough

A 2-3 Bedroom appartment could cost you around QR8000/-+ so think abt the offer and to tell you the truth the cost of living index is very high at Qatar.

I hope this helps!

Cheers
