Good company good benefits etc

No idea what is wrong

**Supportive, collaborative culture** — Teams are generally kind, respectful, and willing to help. Cross‑functional partners treat contractors well, and communication is clear and professional. **Strong work‑life balance** — Workloads are manageable, expectations are reasonable, and leadership respects personal time. **Clear processes and documentation** — Adobe invests in structure, which makes it easier to ramp up and deliver consistently.

**Contractor limitations** — Contractors often don’t have access to the same tools, systems, or internal mobility opportunities as full‑time employees. **Uncertain path to full‑time roles** — Even when you perform well, conversion opportunities depend heavily on headcount and budget, not merit. **Benefits gap** — Contractors miss out on Adobe’s strong benefits package, which can make long‑term stability challenging. **Slower decision cycles** — As with many large companies, approvals and cross‑team alignment can take time. *Role boundaries can be rigid** — Because of the structured environment, there’s less room for contractors to expand scope or take on stretch projects.
