Best career start
Pros: Exposure to small and large clients, good people to help you, good IT which means you can work efficiently, good clients who like auditors. Also nice PAs and Partners who aren't what you'd expect. As a grad group, the environment feels like  being in the cool class at high school, without being "too cool for school". The work is interesting but you must tell people what you want to work on otherwise you can get assigned boring stuff - it's really up to you to make it work.
Cons: Comparable lower pay than at a second tier or smaller firm, but benefits outweigh this. Some staff go AWOL, are lazy or do nothing and no one seems to pull them up on it. Hours can be long but really depends on the client and team.
