Pros

Pay is very competitive. Management counceling and feebacks are good. People are friendly.

Cons

Management are too arrogant (the A in Arrow)to listen. Even if they agree, they won't tell you that they agree and certainly would not act on it. Motivation to improve is extremely low. Management like to stay in the same process (if there is one) than making changes for the better. Cannot face issues head on and prefer to pat each other's back than providing constructive feedback for the better. The Lean 6 Sigma is really for the the purpose of 'Lean" and not efficiency, best practices. Company culture does not understand project management. PMO does not have any project manager, so forget about management methodology, structure and process. Benefits is below average. HR department is disconnected with the business. Since growth is by acquisitions, all divisions are disconnected and no consistence process and procedures.

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.
