Pros

Good company (One of leading distributors in the world as well as ASEAN region) Good bosses (Always have your back when you need them, fight for your incentives) Good colleagues (Friendly and helpful) Above average pay (Not the highest in the industry but relatively high compare to smaller distributors)

Cons

Horrible workload (Working hour: 9am - 6pm but you are expected to work at home at night as well as during weekends, preparing reports, clearing emails and solving customers problem) For technical team - Not product focus (expect you to sell and promote almost every brands) Cannot grow technically (only have general product knowledge)

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.
