Pros

401k match is fair, occasional drawings for tickets to events

Cons

Good Ole Boys at the top/Executive Leadership Buddy Games, Questionable Accuracy with Fiscal Reporting to the SEC, An HR organization who does nothing about legitimate and proven complaints, Retaliation for complaints, Broken Company Culture, Frequent Layoffs (6 of over 100 employees in my division alone since Sept, of 2017), No Professional Development, Extremely Poor Business Ethics, Compensation Plan Inconsistency, Prohibitive and Frequently Changing Bonus Structure, Lack of Advocacy for Individual Contributors and Middle Management, Lack of Trust in Employees, Hiring Freezes... Look if you want to do 6 jobs for the price of 1, and have no one care about your career, while the company also actively tries to cover up major and deliberate financial mistakes, while turning over the team around you faster than burgers getting flipped at McDonalds, this is your place! Oh, and Coronavirus... yeah they will still make you work in the office despite being an IT company with plenty of resources to allow for working from home. I have multiple verified sources inside Arrow who confirm this as of 3/30/20.

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.
