Relaxed Dress

Look good, but be comfortable. Find the balance between what would be acceptable dress if a client comes in and what puts you in the best position to produce great work.

Hybrid / Remote-Friendly Office

We have an office in Baltimore that we admittedly haven’t been in nearly as often as pre-2020. With that said, it’s a great place and we plan to be back there (at least a few days a week) very soon. You’re welcome to use the office every day, occasionally or never. We’ve all gotten comfortable working remotely, so if that’s your preference, that works for us.

Straightforwardness

At Drexler, you won’t find us using the latest buzzwords or giving ourselves fancy job titles. Instead, you’ll find a group of smart people speaking plainly, treating each other as equals, and enjoying working together. When it comes down to it, our collars are a bit more blue than white.

Have Fire

Our roster contains passionate and focused individuals. They have the drive to do what’s necessary to produce great work. You need to have that to join our team. If you are willing to speak up, self-start, collaborate, learn, and take risks, then you may be the right person for our team.
