Temasek London Reputation?

Temasek is hiring for Associates in their London office for Direct Investing. So I want to know candidly, what is their reputation on the street in Europe?

Asking all Investing/Private Equity veterans or others interested in the industry.

How do they stack up compared to a traditional PE investor in terms of prestige/exit opps and desirability?

 

Interviewed with them but can't disclose the specific team: 
Overall impression was highly mixed. Seniors didn't know how to direct a conversation and were not really interested in your background or character.
Had the most awkward interview with a guy in quarantine who seemed to be borderline depressed and didn't even respond to the usual Covid chitchat.
