I think the point being made is that company staff shouldn't be leaving five-star reviews on products they, themselves, work on. Whether they do it because they love the product, or a company suit told them to. Personally, I think it's fine to try and convince people to use your/your company's software, but giving yourself a five-star review to do so is downright pathetic.
Mostly without being transparent, and stating they work for the company.
I'm fully okay with them doing so, but they have to disclose what they're doing so. Like the fact that the review didn't disclose that they were an employee is very sketchy to me.
