Internet ads firm’s CEO posts wild job description for 'A-players,' draws internet ire
The CEO of tech services firm Icon.com has sparked controversy with a job description that includes extreme statements like being willing to "eat dog poop if it means winning." The company, backed by Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, seeks "A-players" who are dedicated to the company's cause and willing to work in a high-pressure environment. The Values statement on their Careers page emphasizes qualities like being shameless, fast-firing, and willing to work long hours, even on weekends. While some view Icon.com's approach as satire, others see it as intense bravado, especially given the CEO's statements about his work ethic and aspirations.
