Pros

Wear jeans on Friday and many of the employees are nice and hardworking.

Cons

Poor processes and systems don't provide opportunities for success. If this way of doing things is all a person knows, maybe you will think it'snormal. I do not think it's normal to work overtime each week fixing problems because no planning was done on the front end. I also question the competency of middle management. I read on another review that it all rolls downhill. That appears true in providing no recognition for hard work and success, simply chastising for challenges not yet addressed. Because of the bad processes and systems, there is a ton of busy work that needs to be performed.

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.
