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 Questions
The case study as a whole was difficult. Topic was interesting it required a lot of work to cobble together disparate pieces of information from a variety of sources. Case study as a whole was time consuming. Case study prompt was also relatively unstructured so one was forced to err on the side of doing too much. During the interview, one of the interviews required a lot of mental math around an investment idea. One of the interviews also went through the case study in detail so important to know everything in the presentation.
