Pros

Arrow is huge so employee reviews will vary by department. I worked for a great department with an excellent work-life balance (most of the time).

Cons

The general sentiment is they employ tech engineers but don't value them. Many engineers said they don't pay market rates. Our department saved Arrow millions per year, but companies value new sales more than saving. They like to view themselves as a technology company but they are a distribution company making pennies per transaction moving chip commodities. Soon after I left, they moved our software overseas to cut costs and laid off the department. I enjoyed my time there based on the department I worked for.

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.
