Pros

Big company, global, if you are willing to live in Denver then there is a lot of opportunity.

Cons

Poor HR & Talent Management Leadership. Went through a major downsizing a couple years ago and eliminated many Talent jobs , combining others - transitioning much of the work to existing HR generalists and or remaining Talent staff with no real strategy or plan on how to execute. Never really recovered. Many programs that were flagship and/or award winning were cut. They will not be able to do anything innovative/cutting edge here until new leadership comes in. Sadly, current HR/Talent Leadership has created a culture of indifference in HR. They are not liked by their own people. HR/Talent employees have often sited their own culture as toxic.

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.
