Thoughts on Apax Partners in 2019

Does anyone have current insights on Apax Partners (London and NYC office)?

How do they compare with the other mega funds (Advent, Blackstone, BainCap, KKR, ....) in terms of caliber of people, culture, deals?

There are posts from a couple years back but they seem to have had a quite high turnover of staff so things might have changed.

Thanks!!
