What is going on at Golden Gate Capital?

Clearly they've been super successful with all these new funds spinning out in basically all of their verticals but is anyone left there? What drove the desire to spin out -- poor economics at the MD level, culture, etc.? Would be curious to get people's takes on GGC as a place to work now as well as the relative quality of all the various spinouts.
