Headhunter advice

Hi all - I’ve been working with Amity partners and had a first round interview yesterday with a MM PE shop. Thought it went ok but really didn’t think the group is a fit culturally for what I’m looking for (they are very intense, extremely long hours, no deals done this whole year) and I’m wondering if I should just reach out to Amity and let them know I’m no longer interested. Would that look worse than rejecting a 2nd round (or them telling headhunter they don’t want to go through with me). Thanks in advance.
