Qatar Computing Research Institute Reviews

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.

No structured research Lack of research vision No credit to hardworking employees, biased management Too much politics and favoritism Asians are treated like slaves No career advancement for Jr. Researchers Engineering & Opensource work is being promoted as high quality research through media campaigns
