Two theories come to mind.

1. Re-bleed the system.  There may be some bubbles that didn't get purged.

2. While bleeding the system, they may have damaged the master
cylinder/seal by pumping the pedal too deeply and "cleaning" the master
cylinder bore of all the sediment.

Try re-bleeding first.

Good luck.
