I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Arrow Electronics (Denver, CO) in Aug 2017
Interview
Very absurd handling of the entire process.
After 2 phone screens, I was asked to come to the Arrow office for interviews with the hiring manager (HM), and the team. However, on the day, the HM tells me today it's going to be only him, and I'll have to come in another day with interviews with the rest of the team! That wasn't what I was told! An overly casual, careless HM!
The HR had told me that the HM liked me so much over the phone screen that he didn't want to bring in any other candidates for subsequent rounds. But when I met him in person,his questions and expectations were all out of place for the role I was interviewing for!Not what I was preparing for, neither it was part of the job description.
I didn't hear back from the HR for a week, until I reached out. And no reason/feedback given as to why he didn't want to continue with my candidacy.
One of the worst experiences as an interviewee; will never work with Arrow again!

Question 1
Nothing out of the ordinary - what I currently do; why this role; why Arrow
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Arrow Electronics (Denver, CO) in Mar 2016
Interview
Met with two managers for 45 minutes or more. One of the managers asked several questions to quiz financial accounting knowledge. Some were basic accounting concepts, others dealt with consolidated financial statements and reporting transactions between a parent and a subsididary. Also met with three associates that spoke about daily work.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Arrow Electronics (Denver, CO) in Jan 2017
Interview
I have the same negative experience as most everyone else. Interviewed with a “manager” who appeared to have forgotten we were scheduled in meet. Started looking at his watch as soon as we sat down. In hindsight, I should have stopped the meeting and left. It was rude and insulting. A complete waste of my time to rush through answering questions. Like most others experience, my interviewer went MIA. Never heard back from him, HR or anyone else.

Question 1
All routine questions. I am disappointed in myself that I didn’t simply end the meeting and leave. As a potential candidate, it’s easy to get caught up in the dream of an exciting new life chapter. We all owe it to ourselves to must maintain self respect and self preservation.
