Pros

The corporate office is getting renovated, so it is starting to look more fresh, open and airy and less bleak. Great cafeteria for employees. Some good people; you'll find them with their heads down.

Cons

Management is very old school, male-centric, top down "What I say goes" and "Make it happen or you are fired" mentality. And if you can't make it happen, the will do just that.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. It looks like there were some tensions with management on your team. We'd encourage all employees to connect with their HR Business Partner if they feel there's any funny business going on.

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.
