Apollo Credit - culture / comp

Apollo clearly has a rough culture on the private equity and hybrid value sides. 

Anyone know what the comp / culture is like in their credit groups?  Same nightmarish place or a bit tamer?  

I assume it gets closer to the hyper-aggressive Apollo, the less and less performing you get but would be good to hear if anyone has insights there.
