My class was given temporary company accommodation (4-6 weeks), but some chose not to move out and the company never said a word to them. They are still in the "temporary" housing which is the same compound as the long term housing. Class behind ours and class ahead of ours got long term company accommodation, so it is hit and miss. Anyone can opt out of Company accommodation at any time and take the 15,000 QAR housing allowance instead.
Company accommodation is generally a 3 BR / 2BA apartment in a compound that has a good gym, pool, dry cleaners, small general store. Theoretically captains are supposed to get a villa, but there is a long waiting list for villas. Many of us choose to get our own accommodation.
