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.

This was done through a recruiting company. Basically a recruiter reached out to me with the position. Once I expressed interest he set-up a call between the company and I. Whats I got through this screening process I was brought into the Trinity offices for 3 hours of interviews. It was a variety of group and single person interviews. Mostly related to my resume, why I wanted to work in IB, and valuation experience. No curve balls.

I applied online towards the end of december to smaller boutique banks as I was only a sophomore at the time. I came across trinity capital and applied online. I heard back from them towards the middle of January and had a phone interview set up for the end of the third week of January. After the phone interview they let me know about a week later that I was no longer being considered for the position.

Interview
My old employer got me in touch with a friend who has connections in banking. He referred me to the MD who got me into the recruiting process. They got me in before they actually started recruiting because I go to school out of state (this was during winter break). When I got there it was very casual, and not stressful. I interviewed with 4 analysts and most of the questions were the basic tell me about yourself, walk me through your resume ect., probably because I am only a sophomore and didn't expect me to know the technicals. Most of the analyst and I ended up just having a casual conversation, good guys. One asked me what happens to each financial statement when depreciation goes up. He said he didn't expect me to get it but I did. That's accounting 101 bra. He was the one to sort of probe me in my understanding of the economy and finance. He wanted to know where I thought the economy was going, wanted to know about a project I worked on and asked why I like financial stocks. Which lead into the effects of QE.
