- A players only. Only A players can hire A players. We'd rather hire 1 A player and pay an above market amount (that someone is very happy with) than hire 3 B players and pay average.
- In-person working (New York City). No remote/hybrid.
- Drive. You're hungry to do what it takes for us to win together. You likely have a massive chip on the shoulder or a deep sense of craftsmanship. Work is a key part of your identity / fulfillment in life.
- Grind. We work/text on weekends and at night. It's ok to send messages at 3am. Someone is either up or they're not (and it won't wake them up). It's ok to call people as well if there's an emergency (and something is breaking).
- Urgency. Do in a day what usually takes weeks. Run through walls to get things done. Respond in minutes (or seconds) instead of hours.
- Shameless. Be extremely annoying if it means winning. Check-in on things 10x daily. Double (or quadruple) text if someone hasn't responded. Call them too.
- Fast firing. If someone isn't an A player, we part ways quickly. Please be okay with this. We do paid trials to help derisk this.
- Mission-driven. 'Make anything go viral' as a mission sounds fun to you.
- EV-based decision making. No buying IBM because it's safe.
- Customer-first, not team-first. It's our job to make things move fast. We dropped the ball if a customer feels like we did.
- Wear many hats. No job is not your job.
- Flat company org. Titles reflect scope. No political promotion games.
Icon.me builds digital professional cards called Icons that are shared across mobile, email, and online. Icons automatically pull in and display a user’s professional social feeds to create a dynamic profile that highlights industry insights and contact details. Users can see who views, saves, or shares their content through personal analytics, and the system identifies commonalities between connected people to add context to networking. The platform also includes Canvas, a social intranet and company reader for sharing and storing articles and web content among teammates, reducing email clutter and improving content discovery. Compared with typical networking tools, Icon.me ties together external social activity with analytics and personal connection insights while offering a private internal content hub via Canvas. The overall goal is to simplify professional branding and networking, helping individuals and companies share knowledge, manage contacts, and generate leads.

Alongside the whitepaper, ICON has launched their new Centre for Obesity that delivers expertise and market intelligence with a ready-to-deploy infrastructure of 100 sites and an in-development database of 10,000 pre-screened patients across the breadth of comorbidities related to obesity.
Dublin, Ireland – 7 May – ICON plc, (NASDAQ: ICLR) a world-leading clinical research organisation powered by healthcare intelligence, today released the findings of a survey of 155 biotech and pharma professionals from across the US and Europe focusing on multi-indication cardiometabolic RD for therapies targeting obesity and its comorbidities. Multi-indication studies are clinical trials that test how a treatment works for more than one condition or disease. As researchers uncover the potential of particular drug classes across interconnected diseases, the commercial opportunities have increased the appetite for additional research that targets multiple indications. The findings indicate that most sponsors (83% of respondents) are pursuing multi-indication approaches in their obesity-related research. However, the survey results also suggest that sponsors may underestimate the complexity of these strategies - particularly when selecting inclusion criteria and endpoints - which can lead to inefficiencies in the clinical development process
