I worked with them directly at a customs agency&amp;#x27;s software department. During our 6 month integration project, Foxconn caused the resignation of one senior developer and one software specialist. They basically wanted to use our systems to store their private data and gradually demanded that we act like their entire ERP &amp;quot;OR NO DEAL&amp;quot;. We ended up finally standing our ground and only did customs integrations and they built an actual IT team instead of using us as their own IT team.</text></comment>
