Pros

Hands off management style allows flexibility in job.

Cons

Leadership is seemingly interested in retirement vs. making the company better. Someone has to die or leave in order for you to get promoted.

Thanks for sharing your experiences at Arrow - sounds like part of your perceived issues involve being unable to move around in the company or lack of promotion(s). Perhaps you'll be happy to note that we are standardizing our job profiles globally to 1) Allow managers to have conversations with their employees about upward or cross-functional mobility and 2) to allow us to better understand how compensation levels. Thank you for your patience as we roll out these changes - and please know that we appreciate you and your dedication to Arrow!

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.
