Which MF's Allow Associates to gain Operating Experience through PortCo's?

Curious to know which (if any) of the MF's allow PE Associates to gain some sort of operational experience with their portco's. Have heard of some PE associates having some say in operations/strategy with their respective portcos, so would love to know which of the MF's encourage/allow this?

APO does something similar. Especially if you're dealing with a particularly hairy portco situation, associates may be inserted into taking on fairly modeling intensive roles (surprise!) as it relates to laying out the operating model and taking point on modeling potential tuck-in deals. I concede this isn't so much an operating role but it certainly gives associates an upfront and close look into how the firm is thinking about managing the risk with a particular investment.
