Pros

Great experience, good people to work with, you learn alot. There are areas within the company that you can feel at home and work with great management who actually care about you.

Cons

The work pace and pressure is way too much for most people and there is very little balance and very little reward. Some focus on the pressure and some crack, if you choose to focus you end up with burnout periods and regrets. There are great deal of politics here and you need to stay quick on your feet to stick around for a long period of time. HR is a legal business here, they only serve to control the cattle exactly how management wants them to act and were to focus. If you have a concern about anything do not ever take it to HR, you will get fired if it even remotely smells like negativity. If you have a friend in HR keep things to yourself around them or you will get them and yourself fired. They do not invest in their employees and do not care about this. Employees are numbers and as quickly as they get hired they get replaced to keep the big ship moving regardless of the emotional damage.

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.
