Technology PE

How would you compare firms like TPG, Advent and Apax for a tech growth/buyout investing role? Would like to learn about the culture and particular strengths (sector, etc.) of the mentioned firms, and also compare their tech capabilities to firms that are tech-specific like Insight, Thoma, etc.
