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 interview consisted of 7 30 minute one-on-one or two-on one interviews. I got to talk to pretty much everyone in the DC office: junior analysts, senior analysts, and the vice president. It lasted about 4 hours. We had a break in the middle for lunch where the interviewers got to eat with the analysts.

After the interviews, I was contacted a week later asking my availability for the summer and a couple weeks after that, I got an official offer.

Interview Questions

Four cards are laying down on a table. Each card has a letter on one side and a number on the other. Facing up are "F", "A", "2", "3".

The claim is that if there is a vowel on one side, there is an even number on the other. Turning over the least number of cards, how can you check this claim.
