Pros

Heard some stories that it was once a good company.

Cons

The quality of product deliveries is poor, leading to frequent customer complaints, with some issues remaining unresolved. Despite shifting to AI, no effective solutions have emerged. Time is wasted on social media, but when it comes to real customer concerns, AI fails to provide meaningful resolutions.
