PE interview and know nothing about PE

I have an interview coming for a summer analyst with a PE firm, but I know nothing about PE. I’m a total stem guy and intern currently in quant, and know the ins and outs of QR and QT, but really couldn’t tell you much about PE. How in the world should I prep for this, I have less than two weeks.
