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

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.
