Pros

There are a few smart folks scattered about the company.

Cons

Directors and VPs suffer from acute short-termism. Most business decisions are made with an eye towards the next earnings report rather than as part of a larger long-term strategy. The key to getting promoted is to suck up to directors and VPs. Hard work and ingenuity comes a far second to office politics as a way to get ahead. This results in mediocre and subpar employees at the manager and director level.

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.
