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.

There was a bit of finance in the interviews as well, asking about the bid-ask spread and some basic arbitrage questions.

Interview
Interview panel had two members. They tried to assess the candidates interest in finance. It was mostly HR and very few technical questions were asked. They appeared to be in a hurry to complete the interview. The interview lasted hardly ten minutes. One of the interviewer got out of the interview to talk in his phone and didn't bother to ask a single question. A very bad experience
