Pros & Cons of working & living in Qatar:
Pros
1.no taxation
2.low crime rate
3.less distraction as to opportunities for vices
4.less traffic compared to denser cities
Cons
1.high tuition for schools even for Nursery&Kindergarten
2.extremely hot weather
3.no office procedure at work & sometimes inhuman attitude of the employers. (From my experience, the employees of big multi national companies have good standing(respect&fair policies), while the ones employed in the local companies suffer from cases of abuse in their conditions of employment (leave rights, benefits etc)
