I agree with Casablanca. QR has matured and become more relaxed in the six years since I joined and is definitely improving in most aspects. Doha is what it is. You need to make an effort and it requires patience to get to grips with. It might never be a place that you really like, but if you learn to deal with the dust and the heat it's not a bad place. All things considered I recommend QR but keep an open mind if you decide to join.
