Pros

Its a good place to cut your teeth for a year or so - but you won't progress unless you seriously know how to kiss backsides. Backside kissers get more attention than excellent people who know what they are doing. Treat it like a stepping stone - there is little to no future for you in this company. Don't be fooled.

Cons

Poor senior management... A cloak and dagger approach is often adopted. They come across as arrogant and unapproachable.. Very little to no migration within the company, people are left to rot in their positions for years.. There is practically no development of staff, you get the feeling you don't matter and if you want better pay and opportunities - Arrow senior management has suggested in the past you look outside Arrow! That's how bad it is!

Arrow Electronics Response

Sorry to hear that you feel as if there has been a lack of growth amongst you and your colleagues - it is incredibly frustrating to feel like things are stagnating and that you are disposable. Right now, we are working on a framework for our jobs that will impact all employees on a global level in the North America, EMEA, and APAC regions. This will enable us to understand each of our job categories and create the ability for managers to have conversation with their workforce about how to grow either crossfunctionally or upwards. Thank you for your patience as we roll out this new initiative within the next year!

Pros

I had a very positive experience interning at Arrow Electronics. The management team was supportive and approachable, and communication was clear and consistent throughout my time there. Expectations were well‑defined, and I always knew where to go if I had questions or needed guidance. My coworkers were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with, which made collaboration smooth and enjoyable. Arrow also has a strong support system in place for interns, which helped create an environment where learning and growth were encouraged. Overall, Arrow Electronics provided a well‑structured and professional internship experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been part of the team. I would recommend Arrow to students looking for a solid and supportive internship environment.

Cons

I truly cannot think of much other than IT related hurdles which slowed down progress on my projects initially.
