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). Simply put, as a company gets more reviews, the confidence of a "true score" increases so it is pulled closer to its simple average and away from the average of the entire dataset.

Interview
There were a few analyst present with other figures. I figured out that one was a VP at the firm and the other was a MD although they did not explicitly mention it for some reason. Any way, typical firm questions [build a LBO model etc.]. But a bit weird given that people were whispering about Corzine at MF Global. Freaked me out so I didn't take up the offer.

Anyway glad I didn't!

MF Global was an interesting firm. I contacted a MD but they didn't seem to have anything set up at that point in time. Contacted HR and was forwarded to some interesting federal agents. Never again?
