Post MBA PE at Blackstone?

Currently an associate at an UMM fund headed to Wharton this fall and thinking about recruiting. It looks like BX recruits heavily from W and a lot of the people they hire have a similar background to myself. 
 

What’s the post-MBA role at BX like? Anyone have insights on culture, comp, progression, etc.?
