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 Questions
Why should we hire you, especially since we have more competitive applicants from Columbia with higher GPAs? Why SHOULDN'T we hire you? What makes you more qualified than the next guy? Are you available for unpaid opportunities? Tell me about a mistake you made and describe how you made it, who made it with you, and how the situation either resolved or didn't. "Tell me about yourself" - (honestly, this is bread-and-butter, but doesn't stop it from being a difficult question to get by). What skills do you bring to the table?

Interview Questions
Basic behavioral questions and brain teasers (about painting sides of a cube - how many cube are fully painted?).
But make sure to know your resume thoroughly - even the ones there are at the bottom of your resume, they can always ask you.
I just found it hard because I mumbled when I was asked to explain what I did at a place where I first got my part time job.
I didn't do much for my first part-time but I was struggling to make it sound like I did a more impressive work than what I actually did.
Other than this, really, all questions asked were standard.
