Thanks for writing a review! You're right that it can be easy to get lost in a large company. Have you joined yammer? It's a great way to connect with other employees, both in and out of your department. It definitely makes our "Arrow world" feel a little bit smaller.

Pros

Very relaxed work environment, Flexible hours, Some benefits and retirement packages. Personal space.

Cons

Too many well paid managers on the hierarchy between me and the CEO. Always changing upper management every two years. Regular layoffs of good talent. No bonus no raise.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Sorry to hear that you're no longer with the company. As we relocate many positions from Melville to Denver, there is certainly a lot of personnel change happening. It's our intent to maintain transparency and create a positive environment for all employees.

Thanks for sharing your positive experience with your teammates! The team concept is important to us at Arrow and we hope to share that value with all employees. It's true that some departments, especially sales, experience a flux of time during specific times of the year.
