Reaching Out To Analysts That Left For PE About Group

Incoming FT to new group. Didn't intern there and this group has high turnover for a coverage group. Most analysts do 2 and out. I've found a few analysts that were in the group and left for PE. What are the optics on low-key reaching out to them to understand group culture better for the unfiltered view?
