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 Questions
Why gaming? What makes you qualified for this role? The key here is really to have a story. I didn't so it didn't go so well.
Not really a question but a bunch of stuff related to financial statements. You should know this very well.
