Pros

- Depending on the group you're in, you will get to do very interesting work, publish papers, etc - Work is chill - Tax free pay - Doha has low cost of living, so you get to save a lot

Cons

- Depending on the group you're in, you may get stuck with a lame project, that has no directional insight from upper management - Being a research institute funded by the government, there is a lack of accountability sometimes on a managerial level, - There seems to be a general lack of motivation, most people there are senior and close to retirement and have no ambition. Those who do have ambition almost always leave.

Pros

Indeed a good job offer, including tax-free salary, furnished villa, excellent health care, two-month annual paid leave. Good working environment. Good work/life balance. Generous paid leave package. More opportunities for travel.

Cons

Doha city is quite small and boring. Extreme Heat and Humidity. Public transportation is in its infancy. Traffic here is a mess and people drive like lunatics. Doha in summer is a bit of a ghost town. The general working atmosphere here is a bit laid-back. Career wise, it can be a good place for senior people to retire here. It might not be a good place for early-career researchers to advance their career, although it provides attractive compensation package. It is not easy to lure highly motivated and talented students to work here.
