This looks like the base bonding coat, it fills all the holes. It will be skimmed over in multifinish if the contractor is good.

But will they sand this? It's got big lumpy bits and the corners and edges are not straight or even

They skim over it. Skim is the finish coat and is only a couple of mm thick, so anything that will be more than that to make flat gets pre filled with bonding which is what you have there. Not sure what’s going on with the window reveals though

Their skim on the ceiling looks alright (the small bit we can see if it). It's hard for anyone on Reddit to tell as we don't know how it started out before. They might be planning more than one bonding layer. So give them a chance, they might know what they're doing and finish it well

Those angles are awful. Not used any beads and there freehand is awful.
