Pros

1. Work life balance is not too bad, sometimes required to work during weekends but we do get to claim mileage and a replacement leave for it. 2. Work is not entirely too tough, easy to receive advice and guidance even if you're new. 3. Once a year we receive pretty good bonus, sometimes can go up to 3 months of salary paid as bonus. If you're upper management, you're lucky.

Cons

1. Salary is quite low. Even if you have degree, they will hire you only for diploma level position and you need to work very hard to get promoted. 2. It's very hard to get confirmation to become a permanent staff. Probation period for confirmation is 3 years. 3. Currently they're only hiring on contract basis. There will only be extensions/renewals of contracts and no confirmation as permanent staff for many many years.

Pros

Working at Pertubuhan Keselamatan Sosial (PERKESO) provides valuable exposure in public service and social protection programs. The job allows staff to directly assist the community, which gives strong job satisfaction. Colleagues are supportive and teamwork culture is generally positive. Annual bonus is good.

Cons

Career progression can be challenging, especially for contract staff, where opportunities for permanent placement are limited despite long service and performance. Workload may be heavy depending on department, and staff feedback or requests are sometimes not fully addressed by HR, which can affect morale and motivation. Salary increment for contract staffs are slow.
