Is it meaningfully different if it's not given to employees but given to everyone before they become an employee?

I'd agree it's a meaningful distinction if the company wasn't actually as written... but it sounds like everything in there is accurate?

Propaganda isn’t false - and wasn’t always pejorative. It’s a selection of true things arranged to tell an appealing story.

The connotation of propaganda as being false or misleading is itself the result of propaganda of the most subtle and sophisticated level.
