>we also expect that mission to align with our values.

"we" do? personally i expect my employer to provide financial compensation in exchange for me doing things for them. beyond that i don't really care about whether the giant corporation i work at is truly reflecting my core beliefs. i suspect that they probably aren't.

> reflect the values of their employees

do all employees truly feel the same way about every issue? do employees with a minority opinion feel comfortable expressing those views?

You left out an important part of the first sentence you quoted. Companies that expect employees believe in the mission end up with employees who expect a mission they can believe in.

Talking about employee values in aggregate doesn't imply all of them feel the same about every issue.
