Electrical Engineering Intern

May - August 2020 • Denver, CO

What I liked

Arrow has an incredibly diverse skill set to learn from, if you can get there.

What I wish was different

Arrow canceled our internships the week before the start date, after getting 3 messages from organizers that internships would not be affected due to COVID. The following year, they canceled the engineering internships AGAIN, even after telling those canceled in 2020 that they would be guaranteed a spot in the 2021 cohort. A technology company should be able to figure out how to do a decent intern program, even a remote one. As a 28 billion dollar company, they should have had the foresight to see how COVID would have affected them.

Advice

Don't settle housing contracts before attending internships in Colorado at the very least. If you can, intern elsewhere.

Internal Sales Representative Intern

June - August 2019 • Englewood, CO

What I liked

I enjoyed the various intern activities that Arrow provided. The interns had great social events with each other and executives at the company that created a very unique experience.

What I wish was different

I wish I had a different manager. He was not very prepared for an intern. As a result, I ended up getting most of my work from a division I did not report to.

Advice

Your first internship will not go as expected. There is nothing wrong with that. It is a part of life. You should use this as an opportunity to respond to adversity.
