      Pros

      Depending on management, the staff and managers are supportive and encouraging. Roles are clearly defined. Th office has as of 2025, (this may change depending on budget), a staff counsellor. Has their own pension scheme but is not as much as EPF. Insurance coverage is excellent, can cover medical check ups, most if not all medical procedures, fully covered for birth, Per year: 30 day pro-rated annual leave. 30 day with MC sick leave. 7 day Uncertified Sick Leave. Regular office hours: 8 am - 4 pm (depending on department) Very structured HR and a variety of Professional Development programs through Workday.

      Cons

      UNHCR Malaysia office policies may be volatile to policy changes from the highest donor. It may be volatile from policy changes from Headquarters in Geneva or Regional operations in Thailand. Limited opportunity to develop within Malaysia office, after reaching certain levels, there may be more options for international posts but this is highly competitive. There are different contract types, whether you are an affiliate contract or directly under the UNHCR affects the benefits you will receive as an employee. NO EPF, no SOCSO. emotional burnout high, please get hobbies outside of work. Especially since you will be hearing
