P72 vs Surveyor

Could anyone detail differences between P72 and Surveyor at the analyst level? Am mostly interested in 1) ability to retain an analyst seat if your PM is let go (i.e. what’s reasonable expectation for analyst tenure), 2) comp expectations (base and bonus), 3) promotion trajectory (to PM at p72, to analyst and/or PM at Surveyor), and 4) separately but tied to the above questions - how is reputation on the street? Seems like there have been some changes in last couple of years with the new head of Surveyor attempting to implement a more Global Equities-like approach (don’t know if this is just sales pitch) and P72 getting best talent poached by Citadel

Ignore anon title - have a couple of years on buyside as generalist
