Hole saw is pretty poor for pvc boxes, it snatches and tends to melt the pvc leaving a hole that needs reaming, stepping drill is perfect. Leaves a lovely chamfer around the hole as well.

Ignoring the obvious damage and the cable "run", why put a socket above a door?

It was in a commercial property. I rewired the place for the landlord, then the tenant got the keys and got their own person in to butcher the place! The landlord caught the idiot hammering holes in the fire and acoustic double boarded ceiling and kicked them out! The amount of carp I had to rectify was fun..
 
Oh, and I don't know what purpose that particular socket serves! But I do know the cable is now not diagonal!

Don't use conduit boxes often TBH. I found a holesaw was ok - different plastic perhaps. Some of the holes needed a little trim of the swarf (if that's the right term) with a Stanley, but overall I found it ok.

Cone/step drill I will try next time though.
