I am going through the work-visa process myself. I have been told by the Doha company that it will take about 10 to 15 days to process. I believe this waiting time is the standard. However, I was lucky to receive my work-visa in 7 days. It sounds like as long as the HR is willing to put some effort into processing, the faster you will receive it.
Some unexpected surprises for me were that my new company was asking for a Police Clearance Certificate from the country where my passport is from. In Canada, it would take 2 to 4 weeks to process. I hope you took care of that as well before leaving.
