Debt Focused Private Equity

Would anyone have information on the relative differences between debt focused PE firms such as Centerbridge, Cerberus, and Oaktree Special Sits? I've seen information on these firms individually, but have been having a hard time comparing them in terms of performance, culture, and the overall associate experience. Any information helps, thanks!
