Pros

Arrow is a fantastic place to gain exposure to some great client companies. Anyone who is doing anything with embedded electronics will typically have some amount of business with Arrow. Likewise, you'll get broad (albeit shallow) exposure to supplier technologies.

Cons

The cyclical nature of the world semi-conductor market; geographic shift in point of sale of electronics to Asia Pac; lackluster in-house talent. For senior managers, Arrow can be a decent place to work. Clearly, however, there are two segments of workers at arrow. Morale is typically low, as Arrow can't rally around it's own innovation or technologies. Arrow simply sells the innovation of others.

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.
