Pros

The people who work here are all quite nice. There is a excellent cafeteria which is bonus, as well as a nice lounge. Also, the campus is quite nice to walk around during the spring/summer.

Cons

Although senior management is trying to fix it, everyone still works in silos. Too much red tape, and it's a real hassle to communicate with people in the office and over at SIVAC. There is no real structure in the way of career advancement (From what I've seen, if you're a minority you have very, very little chance of moving up), and management simply doesn't care about the work/life balance (Overtime is not simply suggested, it's required - especially at quarter/year end). A good percentage of management are unqualified for the positions they hold, and some of them have less education than the people they are manage. The best employees eventually get tired of this and end up going to other companies (including our competitors). And because of the downturn, we've recently lost a lot of people, which makes it that much harder for everyone around the office to do their job.

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.
