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
Submitted my resume through their website. Was contacted to set up phone interview which lasted about 30 with an associate of the firm. I got a follow up email about a day later which outlined a project for me to complete over the weekend. I had to create a 1 page summary of a potential M&A target. It consisted of basic company data (location, divisions, what it did etc.) and some financial information: NI, Current Ratio etc. I was invited to NYC for final round interview but I had already received another offer.
Interview Questions
Walk me through the accounting of a capital lease. This was by far the toughest question. Other than this it was pretty standard fit/technical questions you would expect for an IB interview.

Presentation
Interview
Had a first round interview over the phone with the director of the New York office. Then had to put together a small presentation about a company they were analyzing as a possible takeover candidate. Then had to pay my own way to New York for 6 more interviews. The first interview (2 on 1) was basically all technical but mostly accounting and a few valuation questions. The next several interviews were mostly behavioral but every person asked at least one technical question.
Interview Questions
A lot of the questions were behavioral such as weaknesses and what I have found to be difficult in the past. What was the biggest risk you have ever taken? Talk about a time you were a leader/follower and how you work in each. Talk about a time when you were busy or had to really work hard.
Technical questions were the typical accounting questions. Depreciation, buying inventory with cash, non recurring items, how to get to free cash flow; things such as that. Also asked about the different techniques of valuing a company and when where and why you would use each. A little more questioning was given on DCF but other techniques were also questioned.

Interview
The interview was standard. Took me through the basic questions such as 'walk me through your resume' and delved deeper on specific points along my resume. Touched on basic technicals like walk me through DCF, Coms, and precedent transactions.
Interview Questions
There wasn't a difficult question. But I ran into trouble when she opened the floor to questions. I asked 'What is your most memorable moment at the firm?'
The interviewer stumbled when I asked this questions and when I asked for feedback, one of their response were that they felt it as if I was interviewing them at the end. I guess it might have been the way I phrased the question. In retrospect, a better way to have phrased it would have been, 'What was the most interesting deal that you have worked on in this firm?'

Interview
Had initial phone interview consisting mostly of fit, walk me through your resume, some basic technical questions, can't recall what they were. Final round was in person at their offices. Interviewed with six people ranging from analyst to director, one after another. All the interviews were one-on-one. Mix of technical and background/fit/experience questions. All interviews were both technical and fit with the exception of one interview with an analyst that was all technical. Technical questions were not too difficult,--pretty straightforward accounting, and valuation stuff, nothing too tricky. No curve balls, or brain teasers or anything like that. People all seemed very nice, came from very diverse backgrounds, all seemed to enjoy themselves.
Interview Questions
Why might Depreciation be included in COGS rather than listed as a separate line item? I answered that an industrial company would most likely include Depreciation in COGS because fixed assets are directly connected to producing its product.
