MF Credit in London - Reputation/WLB/Perks/Pay?

Seen some threads in the past that never got much traction, but would be interested in hearing about details on the larger credit funds like BX/KKR/Bain Cap/CVC etc... in London as far as comp progression, WLB, and general perks are concerned and how it compares to the PE teams. 

Appreciate any insights!
