Job offer in Malaysia - legit or scam?

Hey everyone, I received a job proposal from Mindgraph for a Junior Mainframe Developer position in Malaysia (onsite). Not sure if it's a real deal.

Any insights would be appreciated!

Politics. Manager driven company. Manager decides your rating which will directly affect increment and bonus. Rating is not based on performance. It's purely how you are making your manager happy. Luckily I'm not a victim. Recently increment is not year basis. it's either in 1 and 1/2 year or in 1 and 1/4 year. Recently working hours changed. It's 10 hours per day(mandate).
