The number you see in the middle of the doughnut pie chart is the simple average of these scores. If you hover over the various sections of the donut, you will see the % breakdown of each score given.

The percentile score in the title is calculated across the entire Company Database and uses an adjusted score based on Bayesian Estimates (to account for companies that have few interview insights).

Interview
I was reviewed by a recruiter, and the position was technicaly for 2015, with a posibility of 2016. I came in for a first round interview at the offices of the recruiter, and sat down with 2 jrs (1 associate and a vp). Very fit based first round. Second round was a model test with a debrief immediatly following.
Interview Questions
The hardest question came during the model debrief. We didn't have a ton of time for the model, and questions dug into a case study that we barely had time to review.
Questions on variable vs. fized costs in service industry. I was told beforehand that industry specific knowlege was not required.
