I've been a contractor for most of my career, both in electronics and programming, with generally good experiences. Some jobs didn't work out well (for some measure of "work out well"); in these cases there mostly were several layers of contracting involved, and the layer that didn't work out well was above me and what I could influence. These usually involved rather complicated company politics on the side of the final clients.
