Best NYC PE Firms Culture

Currently a first year and think ill enjoy the PE investor role. Just also want to enjoy my life and more importantly the people I work with so wondering what NYC firms people have heard of that have relatively good culture. Any color on said firms too would be great. Not too concerned with being the most prestigious or highest paying role.
