Any info on Blackstone GSO in London?

Currently a LevFin analyst at a BB going through the interview process for GSO. Know this forum is quite US centric but was wondering if anyone had any info on Blackstone GSO, especially with regards to comp, lifestyle, culture when compared to the PE division as well as to other credit funds?

A lot of turnover lately, Bennett Goodman announced he's leaving this summer making him the final founder to depart, along with other senior team members like Jason New. I think Blackstone isn't giving them the economics they wan't or letting them do the deals they want and now they're working to keep LP's from shutting down the investment period on some funds over the key-person risk. Can't offer much on London specifically except that the office is shared with the PE group. Historically been a smart group.
