Megafund Interview Process

What does the megafund interview process consist of and how is it different from upper/lower-MM interview processes?

Is the interview process at different MFs (Blackstone, KKR Apollo, etc.) structured differently, or is it comparable across firms?

An outline of the interview rounds with approximate theme/contents would be extremely helpful. (e.g. 1st Round, 30 min, behavioral; 2nd Round 3 hours, Long Form LBO Modeling Test, etc.)

Thanks.

Nobis id omnis aliquid voluptatem molestiae ipsa. Voluptatem perferendis rerum sint enim. Debitis ea quas dolores iste. Quas eaque modi delectus. Ut voluptate et hic temporibus modi. Cumque ratione animi odio iusto ut sed.
