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

Asked me to describe my experience throughout high school and college. Questions such as what is your work load like and why do you want this internship? I described my experiences and the events that lead to me choosing to pursue a career in investments. I was also asked about how well I can analyze financial statements. She didn't ask me any technical questions, she only listened and made me talk the whole time. I have another follow up interview in person later, will try to update this then.

Interview Questions

She didn't ask much about the technical side of equity research. The questions she did ask related to my overall experiences. The most important question I believe she asked me was why I am interested in this field. I told her about all my experiences and she hardly interrupted except for when she asked me what learning outcomes were associated with each experience. She also asked me how well I can determine earning quality for companies. She wasn't very specific with her questions, she was listening and trying to understand me better.
