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
The interview was very laid back and easy going. Wanted to get to know you, why this company, and why this particular job. Technicals were typical and not very hard.

Hiring process could use some work... silent in-between rounds
Interview Questions
The very classic question of Depreciation across balance sheet.

You have 100 balls (50 black balls and 50 white balls) and 2 buckets. How do you divide the balls into the two buckets so as to maximize the probability of selecting a black ball if 1 ball is chosen from 1 of the buckets at random? (Verbatim via the phone interview)

How would you value a company in its early stages of growth and one in its mature stage

Why this company and this particular group (you need a good answer).

WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU!?

Interview
I was initially contacted by GP's secretary, who arranged an in person interview with the team. GP is a REIT who was crushed during the crisis, but recently restructured to focus on best-in-class industrial and office net lease equity plays. I prepared by researching the company as well as understanding the net lease space, having some confidence in real estate concepts already.

I met an analyst, VP, and MD, 3 out of the 7, people on the investments team. I was impressed by the level of activity the group was and would be involved with, really the most important aspect I consider when looking at joining a new real estate shop.

I received questions solely on my experience (and lack thereof). No technicals, nothing investment thesis related. I felt I had worthwhile conversations with the analyst and VP, but the MD was not impressed.



Interview Questions
Remind me what the history of your group is. Why should I hire you? Why did you do these things in your deal?

Walk me through your resume. What areas do you need to work on? Are you ready to work long work hours?

Interview facilitated by mutual contact and senior person at the Company. took a month to arrange by email and phone contact. Company was in a period of transition (new CEO & COO/Pres.) Met with Senior managers from new management and two existing senior people. Great location in midtown office connected to GCT. People were great - they ended up hiring someone they had worked with in at a prior company.
Interview Questions
Sorry. There weren't any "difficult" questions. They asked about the deals and transactions I had participated in or led. But they wanted to know why I was looking to make a change.
Again, there really weren't difficult questions, the interviews focused primarily on the quality of my pasted experiences and their applicability to what they were looking for in the "newly restructured company.
