Pros

Shiny, new building, decent benefits, Panorama Building culture has better follow through about being "Five Years Out" and being realistic about 21st century lifestyles.

Cons

Particular business group I was in has management who are reactionary, directionless, and stuck in the 1990's in management style (either micromanagers or too hands off, so much so, that important HR information is often not communicated). Better to not have a family or a life if you work in any group in the Dry Creek building. Frequent layoffs distribute workload to those remaining. Nepotism, big boys club (and language) and women who think it's okay. Changing career paths within the company is difficult at best. Once you are pigeon-holed, you're likely not considered for the career you've been working on (on your own dime, of course). Arrow's training style is trial-by-fire.

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.
