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 Questions
Was asked a brain teaser question. Suppose a mathematician carries two matchboxes at all times: one in his left pocket and one in his right. Each time he needs a match, he is equally likely to take it from either pocket. Suppose he reaches into his pocket and discovers for the first time that the box picked is empty. If it is assumed that each of the matchboxes originally contained 6 matches, what is the probability that there are exactly 2 matches in the other box?

Interview
I sent my resume to a recruiter. I expressed interest for the job. After a couple of weeks, they wanted to do 2 phone interviews with me. A week later, they sent a rejection.
Interview Questions
Group together random points on a 2D grid, so they fall within a certain pre-specified distance. Tried doing the 1D case first. Later, the interviewer guided me through the algorithm.
A few questions about C++ OOP - polymorphism, virtual functions.
A linked list question involving sorting. I didn't give the fastest algorithm. Interviewer sounded pissed & repeatedly corrected me.
Standard probability questions, one involving cards which I answered correctly. I forgot the other question, but I was nervous at the beginning of the interview and messed up the easy question.

Interview
a group of one to one interview 45 minutes each-math, brainteasers,prob&Stat,programming based questions
Interview Questions
the questions aren't that difficult but having back to back technical rounds can be draining and be prepared for a long day. be prepared for a lot of prob&Stat based puzzles such as coin tosses and other types of games other than brainteasers, in depth questions in statistics and some programming questions- mainly algorithms based on strings and numbers, hashing etc. Also, some of the interviewers are ruthless and give no hints on what approach could be taken or what is wrong with your approach.

Interview
1-1 interview for the first round. Basic analytical questions on combinatorics, probability and statistics. Interviewer was extremely polite and helpful.
Interview Questions
Combinatorics: 2 (more generally n dies given), figure out the number of possible outcomes of all numbers being rolled in ascending/descending order.
Markov Chain: problem of a drunk passenger on an airplane with 100 seats. Find out the probability that the last passenger gets the chance to sit on his allotted seat (this problem need not be solved using a complex markov chain approach). Once the question for 100 passengers was solved, I was asked to figure out what would be the probability, that in the same setting, the 51st passenger gets to sit on his allotted seat.

Phone Interview
Interview
Phone interview with a HR person followed by a phone interview with a quant. Very technical interview.
Interview Questions
Started with various questions related to repeated data points in linear regression. How does it affect the coefficient estimates? How does it estimate the significance of the coefficient estimates? How does it affect the r squared? What is the relationship between r squared and correlation? Other question related to random walk on a circle. Could be solved either be using a large system of recursive equations, or more simply using martingale theory (the random walk is a martingale and the random walk squared minus time is a martingale).

Interview
Directly connected with the Head of MD through my network. Sent him my CV, went in for a drink after work with him, then spoke on the phone with HR.
Interview Questions
General interview was actually very pleasant, however, that was because I knew the guy before hand and he had a good gauge already of my skillsets and ability.

Probably good advice for you is to seek these people out directly as this is something they view as part of your skillset, the ability to do business development, and the fearlessness that is required to do so.

Being ruthless is key, and being unapologetic about your approach is part of the key to being the shark needed to survive in the industry.
