Pros

Company pays for first 2x salary life insurance, AD&D, and short-term disability coverage. Fun, no-nonsense organization. HR and IT stay reasonably out of the way to ensure productivity.

Cons

Hiring and layoffs are driven by quarterly financial results. Promotions based upon old boys club connections and not merit. Competitive compensation exists only for directors and above. Small, awkward cubes for non-managers.

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.
