Information on REPE at Cerberus Capital Management?
Also posted under r/FinancialCareers

I've been trying to gather some information on Cerberus for the past week or so and have found it difficult. I'm aware of all the obvious Google search information (headquartered in NYC, PE with a REPE wing, AUM, etc...) but want to get some more in-depth information on them.

How are they regarded in the industry (what "tier" firm are they considered)? Does anyone know about the culture within the firm? Do they focus on a certain asset class?

Anything is helpful, thanks!
