Is this a hash job? Kitchen worktops

Wow that is bad and as others have said, not quite sure how you get it to be quite that bad when you use a jig.

Getting a pro for worktops is always the way, one small mistake usually ends up with a large expense.
 
His half the price of a proper builder / kitchen fitter for a reason!!
To expect the same level of finish when doing it on the cheap is extremely unreasonable imho.
 
Its completely unnecessary as the edge is square?! He obviously doesn't understand the purpose of a scribe let alone how to do it.

The picture of the neater scribe also looks wrong and is inviting a gap to appear, no need to go beyond the depth of the little pencil round, lazy bugger.
 
If you want to go back to him with a factual list of problems, I'd say:

1) There should be no visible gap when joining two worktops, only the seam line from the different patterns meeting
2) Adhesive should not be visible along the join - it being visible means too much has been used
3) The profiles don't match. If you look at the one in the left hand side of your photo, if that was properly seated it would move up and right, at which point the profile of the right hand piece wouldn't meet up properly with it
4) At the end of the straight run there is a curve, presumably where the jig has shifted and the router bit has cut a wobble into the worktop piece

I would also inspect underneath to ensure he's bolted it correctly. You should see 3 recesses that are like a rounded bowtie, or dog biscuit shape, with a bolt in each pulling the two pieces of worktop together.
