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.

First you submit an application, this includes your resume and answers to several questions around motivation. If selected, you will get a first-round interview. For the first round interview you will be emailed a case study 10 mins before the interview. After the interview starts the interviewers will first ask motivation/fit questions for 25-30 mins, then they will move on to the case. The second round is similar, but in this round the case is not sent beforehand.

Interview
I was interviewed by Frontier Economics in November 2013. This first-round interview was supposed to be followed by an interview in the office with senior members later. The atmosphere was relaxed. The first part of the interview (less than half an hour) was competency based interview and we looked in detail my CV. The second part (a bit more than half an hour) was the case study. It concerned the Chinese car market and the initiative of the government to introduce a subsidy for buyers of electric cars. They guided me through the interview quite well and posed some questions in Microeconomics in the end. It's there that I commited an error. May be I was too relaxed after a successfully done case study.
Interview Questions
