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
Position was for LatAm (Brazil/Mexico), focused on energy infrastructure. Process began with on-campus recruiting portal, applying through generic link. Next step was invitation to complete online assessments, which consisted of two tests: quant focused (GMAT style) and Data focused. There was also a personality/skills assessment. After that, next step was invitation to interview with two Sr Associates from the team, focused on Fit (e.g., why PE, what is your experience, why Actis, why Energy, etc.). Next round was a case presentation, in which you were sent a PPT with background and Excel with financials for a potential target (renewable energy company) and were asked to perform valuation and build a presentation to investments team. Key here was that valuation/model was very project finance focused. 48 hours to prepare. Not invited to final round, which I believe was a last, fit-focused interview with MD/Director.
Interview Questions
Most difficult was the presentation and model that had to be built in 48hrs but was very technical and detailed. Difficult to do a great job in such a short timeperiod unless you have extensive experience in infra and/or renewables. Emerging market focus was very important as well.
