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
The process started with a general phone screen interview that consisted mostly of behavioral and a couple of basic technical questions. From there I was sent a case study to complete over the week. Finally, a follow-up for an associate to go over my case and why I made certain assumptions, and a general overall presentation review.
Interview Questions
The case requires a lot of data on precedent transactions and comparable companies. Given that I did have access to CapIQ or Pitchbook this section was somewhat difficult to find valid numbers.
