Oh, what a joke

Pros

Airport control staff is actually quite decent because there are international standards in place and room for error is much higher. The pay above grade 7 is quite decent, but everything below is a total waste of time. ID tickets can be a nice bonus, but it's a game of Russian roulette.

Cons

A penny-pinching, suck-you-dry demanding, second-hand outhouse with zero empathy towards its employees. I've never been surrounded by so many incompetent, talent-less, mediocre people who have Neanderthal understanding of English writing or ecommerce basics, from IT to designers and all the way to managers who simply don't have their crap together, caring only about shielding their yes-saying rear-ends and taking months to make the most simple of decisions. The work culture is absolutely appalling - no proper eating facilities, no proper lunch breaks, draconian rules on office attire, approval processes, and staff travel. Company-produced software is an absolute joke; in fact - everything at this company is a joke, including a calculator they give on your first day. Yep, a calculator! Organized? Prepared? Be strategic? Nope, never heard of it. Every deadline is 2 days ago and every request comes with 10 round of changes, always at the very last minute so that you stay extra one, two, even three hours... every.single.day! Why? Because there are no business flows, there is no good design, there's no engaging content, but nauseating hype, and technological advancements are manifested in Excel, SharePoint and manual, copy/paste culture. Most people try to shift responsibility onto someone else, or blame technology, which, actually, is - just like the IT department - hopelessly mediocre. People leave all the time, or get fired as new management brings their cronies only to cut budgets, inflict fear, and waste time with propaganda meetings. Seriously, anyone with a truck-load of money can buy a bunch of planes, but it takes more than an arrogant second-rate car salesman to lead and inspire. This company is pathetic and only thick-skinned and desperate people with repetitive, non-strategic tasks should apply. Apart from labor-camp construction jobs, this is absolutely the worst company to work for in Doha.

Pros

Good discount on airline tickets. Multicultural environment. You can learn and get experienced with Amadeus GDS.

Cons

The management only cares about the numbers and not about the employees. Sometimes they ask you to stay overtime and when one day you need to leave work one hour earlier, of course, is not possible. It looks like some people with "contacts" grows fast in the company, becoming team leaders or lead agents without having any idea about how to lead a team. Not very good salary. Not clear company policies.
