HF Cultures

Outside of the MMs (where it is PM dependent) what are the firms with good versus poor cultures in the single manager side? Have heard lone pine and darsana mentioned favorably here, what other names? Who has bad culture or tough culture?

Also - what does good/bad culture typically refer to? I am thinking yelling/lack of yelling at analysts, or a broader intellectual honesty/process/mentorship.
