Sovereign Wealth Funds in GCC (ADIA,QIA, Mubadala) Interview Process

Hi guys, anyone familiar with the interview process and the timeline for any of the firms mentioned in the title (either Associate or Senior Associate level). Please share some details on the process. If for some reason you're not comfortable sharing here, I can send you a DM. Thank you in advance.

PS - looking to learn about the process for the firm's home base (not foreign offices)
