Good learning experience and foundation
Pros: EY was a great place to gain exposure and a strong foundation especially as a campus hire. Being exposed to important tasks at a very early stage (rather than a gradual and smooth transition) can be a double edged sword, forcing you to learn and pick up quickly but on the other hand can lead to non-performance.
Cons: Constant pressurizing by audit seniors sometimes leads to cutting corners and low quality work, and inability to focus on the task at hand. Obviously in this line you expect long hours, but a lot of it was unnecessary and either just staying for the sake of staying or due to poor planning and having to do rework.
