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.

Phone screen to start after being connected through a headhunter. Spoke with two deal team members, one largely deal oriented and one mostly technicals. Both very friendly, but technical questions were a step harder than anywhere else I interviewed. Seems like a group of very smart people.

Interview
I had three 45 minute interviews, the first was a case interview and the next two were fit interviews.

In the case interview I was asked to walk through the due diligence process of a potential investment. We talked through growth opportunities, cost cutting opportunities, customer needs, and risks. Finally we did a paper LBO model to estimate returns of the business.

In the following two interviews, I was asked detailed resume questions for roughly 30 minutes and then asked to discuss an investment idea. I was able to ask questions about the firm and investments for the last 5 minutes.
