at a previous company, HR (or a PR firm they hired) would stuff the ratings with tons of super positive reviews for the company.

A company I once worked for required employees to post positive reviews of its app, as a condition of employment.

This started shortly after I left, so I'm grateful I never had to deal with that.

The small company my friend worked for just made all their employees put in a review. While the owners watched.

They were pretty terrible people. Always talking about how they were going to "get rich and leave all of you behind".
