Megafund Interview Process

What does the megafund interview process consist of and how is it different from upper/lower-MM interview processes?

Is the interview process at different MFs (Blackstone, KKR Apollo, etc.) structured differently, or is it comparable across firms?

An outline of the interview rounds with approximate theme/contents would be extremely helpful.
(e.g. 1st Round, 30 min, behavioral; 2nd Round 3 hours, Long Form LBO Modeling Test, etc.)

Thanks.
