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.

Phone Interview
Interview
Did an initial phone call with a member of the team to discuss background and experience. Then referred to another member of the team for very similar phone call. No specific technical questions but rather broad business thinking knowledge.
Interview Questions
Asked a question about my knowledge of a particular industry and thoughts on how to approach it in a deal. Moved beyond the initial answer by providing some helpful details and prodding questions. Continued to discuss the overall outset of the industry and the situations a company might face in that industry, along with typical qualities of a company you might be screening. Asked a bit about analyzing what a given quality about a company might mean from different perspectives, such as management or from the bank.

Interview
First round interview with an MD over the phone. Kind of a jerk, but then was invited for in-person interviews, which were much more positive. Generally focused on fit/personality rather than technical questions.
Interview Questions
Essentially, the first interview started with the managing director who did the phone screen reading through my resume and then declaring that he didn't believe I would be able to do the job. this appeared to be a means of determining how i would respond to being challenged, as he backed down fairly quickly, but his partners then had to subsequently overcome the bad taste.

The remaining questions focused more on my experiences and capabilities, with nothing too unexpected or out of left field.
