Couldn't get out of there quick enough following a company takeover.

Business Outlook

Pros

None. None. None. None. None.

Cons

Following a recent acquisition, where we were unfortunately lied to before, during and after the takeover. Early days highlighted that Arrow ECS as a company are only interested in acquisition. It seems only very senior management are allowed to make a decision, middle and lower management are not empowered to make decisions at all.

Good experience, slow moving internally

Financial analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are great to work with, everyone is willing to give career or business advice. Very conservative atmosphere keeps the workplace professional. Fast-paced industry provides a lot of different opportunities.

Cons

Extremely slow moving with promotions, senior leadership has zero work-life balance but a lot of managers and directors fight for it for their teams. Very behind in technology for employees, investing in the wrong places - extremely externally focused with spending.
