Differences between the MF PEs?

Between all of the PE MFs (Blackstone, Apollo, KKR, etc), what are the well-known differences between each one? Haven't seen any forums/posts about the cultural differences for each megafund (aside from the fact that Apollo is a sweatshop lol). How does the pay compare for each MF? Culture? Promotions/MBA necessity?

Thanks!
