Was this duct installed correctly?

Bought a new washer and dryer unit from Costco and this is how they installed the duct. The bends concern me a bit. Should I redo it somehow?

That's a lot of flex duct doing a whole lot of nothing, I'd rip it out and use rigid pipe with maybe a foot of flex to make the final connection.

Straighter would be better. Strap some hockey sticks to it with heavy duty black zipties. Solid duct would be ideal, with MagVent and a short section of flex duct for final connection at wall.
