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.

Skills Test

Interview

Was contacted by their HR dept and they set up an appt. I had to conduct a skills test on excel. Basically, I had to draft a presentation for a client (reformat, create formulas for the performance, synthesize some information, etc.). Then I had to take a set of more test over a week. I had to compare two funds and describe which was better for a particular type of client. I had a couple of conversations with my firend who works there. Lastly, I got a call from the head of HR extending me the offer.

Interview Questions

She asked me what skills differentiates me. I answered. She essentially said my anwser didn't differentiate me and asked me again. She seemed more satisfied with my second slightly more specific response.
She immediately, without hesitation, asked me why I didn't like more current employer. Why was I looking elsewhere?
I explained to her I ws not there do to dislike of my current employer but because I felt it possibly lead to a better opportunity. I told her that my friend had brought the opening to my attention. I then advised her we spoke at lenght about the company, the position, and wether I'd be a good fit.
