Overall good experience as an audit graduate
Pros: Generous study leave, great team of graduates, very hands on at all levels so you learn loads, quick and consistently promoted.
Cons: Bad work/life balance, little support during very busy times, everyone is always stretched and some people get away with less work.

Be aware of the overtime policy. You must work 45 hours a week during busy season as a minimum, you only get 80 hrs back. I've worked over 200 hrs some years so basically lost 120 hrs and didn't even get the full 80hrs due to work commitments. EY are the only firm still doing this as all other firms pay out any unused leave at the end of the contract.
