How sweaty is Centerbridge?

How sweaty is Centerbridge? It seems somewhat top-heavy. Also, can someone describe the firm in more detail and how they work? Seems like they're broken out into credit, RE and PE - interviewing for credit right now but not in an investing role, more of an asset management type role

Secondhand knowledge from close friends who work there currently and have worked there in the past... extremely sweaty. One of my friends has even said to me on multiple occasions, "I miss my banking work-life balance and lifestyle." Seems like you get great reps, learn a ton, and are well-compensated, but pay for that with your time and mental well-being.
