ValueAct Culture

Does anyone have insight into the culture and investment process / day-to-day life of working at ValueAct? I'm really interested as one of the few large HFs with a long-only focus and collaborative activist bent. How thorough is their due diligence process? Are the hours for the junior team sweaty? Any help would be really appreciated.
