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
Received an email about the opportunity and networked with the hiring managers (got a first round interview). Didn't get an offer, but the technicals weren't too hard (I didn't study and it was my first i-banking interview so wasn't sure what to expect). Hardest question was: Walk me through a DCF like i'm a 5 year old.
