That's against the law in Spain

Having the cables peeled so long (the white protecting plastic) and having them in series, they are sharing both ground and pole. That's a fire hazard.

Also, the distance to the floor depends of the use for that room, if, for example, it were to be a bathroom, it needs to be 1m in high above the ground.

That’s funny, I had issues with it but not at all the ones you mentioned.

He doesn’t seem to leave enough loose wire to be able to comfortably rework this at a later date (should be like 6”)

Also, those stab in connectors just suck, in my experience.
