Fillet weld looking really weird

I came on site to do a sign footings and baseplate inspection and saw this fillet weld. Of course the bolting in the base plate is already atrocious, but from a welding perspective, can anyone share what the issues are?

It just looks aesthetically unpleasing to me, but functionally is it okay?

Well those 24” piers are just for show I guess…

Came across this while working on some other pylon signs on this property. No edge distance, missing bolts… cracked washers…

Should I be reporting this? It’s not my project or sign… seems concerning though. There’s about 5 square metres of signage being held up by two baseplates hardly attached to footings.

Those footings are over-designed and don’t even hold the sign… a total waste…
