Pros

Global company with presence in almost 45 countries. Very flexible work schedule because they expect you to work from home every evening after you finish with the office hours. After all, this is why they give you a cell phone and a laptop so that you can be their slave. Oh and I you deal with the corporate office in Melville, NY, you will always be 2 hr late every morning because of the time zone differences.

Cons

The employee premium for benefits is expensive compared to other employers in the Denver Market. The company operates with one single objective in mind; how to maximize the cash flow and lower the cost of borrowing money to sustain a very very thin margin business!!! which ultimately results in zero annual raises, higher turnover rate, and pissed off suppliers because their terms are extended, to almost double, to meet the cash flow initiative. And they life to refer to the utter chaos as a fast pace environment... I will not recommend this company to anyone I care about because there is nothing called work-life balance in Arrow... Arrow operates with the principle of we hire people, we ride them to the ground, and when they give up, we replace them with new recruits.

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.
