Lots of dead ends, not a lot of opportunity

Pros

Hybrid for some roles, free snacks, tuition reimbursement.

Cons

Arrow has been pushing initiatives on career development and opportunities the past year, but I have not experienced any of this in my current department. I don't believe it's an earnest initiative on their part. There are also no known opportunities to cross train or learn from other departments. Everyone stays in their own silos and it's nearly impossible to branch out into other areas of interest. Arrow also seems to like to vastly underpay. In my case, it's around $20k under market easily. I have been seeking to rectify this situation with my management, but they have been doing everything possible to delay and avoid this discussion. My manager even straight up lied to me that they were discussing this with leadership. I liked a lot of aspects about this job and this company at first, but it's clear to me that Arrow Electronics does not care about its employees and certainly does not see them as investments. HR also tells managers what scores they can rate their employees, because nobody is allowed to have too high a performance review score, which is highly unethical. It also looks like they zapped all jobs from their internal jobs board, so I suspect there are probably hiring freezes and potential layoffs on the table. This place is all talk, no substance. If you have choices, don't come here.

Pros

Immediate teams are good and we all work together well. Since covid cafeteria is providing free breakfast and lunch. Very collaborative groups, teams looking to move the needle and willing to try new ideas to push innovation

Cons

Upper leadership has no clue on how to move into the new age of technology. Boost Five-years out when they are twenty years behind on technology practices. Unless senior leadership gives its blessing nothing happens. If they don't understand or didn't come up with it; it will never happen. Raises have not happen for a few years now, always promises but nothing. Upsetting when you see the huge bonuses senior leadership gets even during covid. With the company doing well, even in covid, you'd expect something and a job well done. If you've been there for awhile, count your blessings, and those that are only seem to do enough to appease management. The motto - Why change just keep doing what you've been doing rings loud and clear. Hence no raises, no promotions, no advances

Pros

Big Company Travel Opportunities in my department

Cons

Slow to adapt things that other companies are quick to adapt (i.e. WFH during COVID situation). Noted fear of leadership in other departments. They talk a big game on innovation but hard to see the results.
