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.

Did a first round interview through OCR. Was invited to the Superday onsite where there were a LBO modeling test, then 4 back to back 2-on-1 interviews. Followed by dinner with senior members of the bank. Tough process with seniors pressing you on your answers, and they keep push you to harder and harder questions to see how much you know about rx. Overall good experience.

There were 3 rounds to the interview process. First-round consisted of interviewing with an analyst from the firm. He went through basic behavioral questions and 2-3 pretty simple technical interview questions. The second round was a case interview that was sent to me, and I was given 24 hours to complete it. It went through researching and creating a slide deck on a company and discussing why a company should buy them, the second was the 3 statements with a given 3 years of historicals and the task was to project the financials out for 3 years, and the 3rd was a data set that you had to filter and make sense of with no background information. After that, I was invited to the super day in Denver. This consisted of 6, 30 min interviews of all behavioral questions. No technical questions were asked. I talked to a mix of analysts associates and MDs. "Why denver?", "Why GLC?", "Why IB", etc...

Networked with the junior team before being told of a first-round phone interview. First-round consisted of behavioral questions and 2-3 technical questions. 2 weeks later I got sent a case study to complete within 24 hours consisting of 3 parts, researching and creating a deck for a company, questions over a large data set, and a very basic model. 2 weeks after that I was invited to a Superday in Denver where I interviewed with every MD in the office and attended a happy hour with the junior team and fellow candidates afterward. A week later received the offer over the phone.

Interview
Got a first round with an analyst and then 2 more after I was referred. 3 first rounds with analysts over the course of 2-3 weeks. All pretty technical.........
Interview Questions
Phone screens: bond math, accounting (multi-step so review M&I here), some rx-centric technicals, some brainteasers, why might an unsecured note trade above a senior secured note, how to calculate yield on a zero coupon bond, would you rather hold a zero coupon or coupon bond with identical tenors, if a company had positive EBITDA why would it file for bankruptcy (Straight from M&I), what does the day-to-day look like for an Rx analyst

Superday: much more fit-focused
Technicals were (exhaustive): what is a cramdown, with 40mm in fixed costs and 40mm in var costs what happens to margins if revenue inc by 10% (assuming var costs also inc by 10%), accounting for expensing a purchase vs capitalizing a purchase

Everything else was about how you work with people, making sure you understood that you actually wanted to be in Rx, a recent deal done by GLC, people asking why GLC over other branded restructuring shops, why GLC over another rx shop

Some dude asked me if I liked the fact that GLC analysts exit into distressed funds

Smooth - multiple interviews consisting of several in person rounds, superday, case study and modeling test. Found everyone to be fair, informative and enjoyable to meet with.
Interview Questions
Essentially, most difficult questions consisted of advanced LBO, Lev Fin, Restructuring and broader credit questions. I'd argue that what was more difficult were the brainteasers. Nonetheless, both can be studied via WSO and similar guides online, as well as just doing some diligence. Extremely beneficial if you come from a credit heavy background. Banking experience ideal as you will be grilled on your deals and advanced financial statement analysis questions, capital structure, bankruptcy, etc

Interview
I applied through my school recruiting center and got a first round on-campus interview. The interview was very intense. The first question asked was what I thought about their website, luckily I had done my homework and checked it out. They then gave two brain teasers back-to-back. The questions after that were all technical besides "if you could have dinner with any three people in history who would they be?". Most of the questions were accounting based questions. They also asked why restructuring as I was applying to a restructuring role.
