Pros

If you get lucky and get on a good team, there are some wonderful people. I've been very lucky with the team I'm on and have a wonderful manager.

Cons

No room for advancement, not very diverse, not inclusive. You definitely have to "drink the Koolaid" and be popular to get anywhere in this company. They treat employees as numbers, not people. They only care about the bottom line. Massive COVID-19 layoff when the company stock was still performing well. They chose people at random to layoff rather than getting input from direct managers on who would be OK to cut. Micromanaging like crazy on some teams. Most management does not think you're working if they can't see you.

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.
