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
It was great. I interviewed with an MD and an analyst. Both were really good guys. It was all behavioral. I didn't get a super day with them, but I had a friend who did. He said that they heard back about offers within 24 hours.
Interview Questions
None--all very straightforward behavioral questions. Most unexpected was "what was your favorite class?" but even that is standard

Interview
Enjoyable people in the interview but extremely technical questions that seemed forced. It appeared that the interviewers were reading from a script they were assigned to use and didn't want to be there. Vague process post-interview and they didn't seem to know much about my school despite the fact that they were targeting it.

Group Interview
Interview
Applied through Career Services site. Received request for an on-campus interview within a couple of weeks. 2-on-1 interview consisted of mostly fit questions ("Why Cary Street", "Why IB", etc.). They only took 1 intern and I received an email a couple of weeks later saying that I was not going to be extended an offer. Pretty simple process and interview.
Interview Questions
The questions were not very difficult at all. They were all fit questions. Examples include: "Why Cary Street Partners?"; "Why middle market?"; "Why investment banking?"; "Tell us about yourself." Every other question pertained to me personally and my background. They seemed to just want to get to know me.
