What's the compactness, connectedness and homotopy group of indefinite unitary group $U(p,q)$

$U(p,q)$ is a indefinite unitary group with $pq\not=0$.

Is it compact? If not, what's the maximal compact subgroup?

Is it connected? How much connnected components?

What's the homotopy group of its connected component?
