Urgent Advice Needed: Cambridge Associates interview (first round)

Hi all, I just got offered a first-round for Cambridge Associates (CA). Does anyone have any insights into the firm and which group/division of CA I should be looking to get myself into? I understand vaguely they are an investment consulting business with also operations in direct FoF/fund investments (investing their own $ along with those of LP's). While I am aware that CA does not traditionally provide many exit opps, which group of CA provides the most optionality afterward (IR/asset management/FoFs/possibly GP stakes)? I am taking CA quite seriously because I do not currently have many other job options.
