UMM/MF PE firms with the most autonomy / career progression

Curious which UMM/MF PE firms allow associates to take on lots of responsibility early in their career, and additionally, accelerate career progression for top performers. I know this was more common in the early 2000s (Apollo comes to mind) but curious if it still exists today and if so, at which firms?
