Updated Insight on Blue Owl?

Can anyone shed light on the direct lending teams at Blue Owl? Particularly interested in the culture and pay progression from an associate / VP level. 
 

Saw them mentioned a few times on old threads but not much info. WSO doesn’t even have a page for them for salary data.
