All jobs are monotonouis after a while, companies like E&Y should present you with challenges and progress - if not make sure you ask for them.
Good luck & learn from the experience.
One of my closest friends worked for E&Y in the late 1980s. She was studying to get her CPA (similar to a Chartered Accountant in the UK, I think) and by regulation had to work at a public accounting firm for two years.
She didn't like the dress code - mandatory blue, grey or black suit every day - or some of the office politics. But those were probably limited to the office she worked in (Detroit). Overall, she was grateful for the training and experience she had at E&Y. And to this day, she has stayed in touch with a lot of her former co-workers from that office, so it seems like there's at least a feeling of comraderie there.
i accepted their offer for employment after doing the internship program. it was the best 6 weeks i have done and worked alongside many big name clients, actually doing real work with partners. You get all the training buy you will get thrown in at the deep end most likely. Enjoy it. The best thing about EY is that if it is not for you they will go out of their way to help you find a career which is using their contacts.
