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
First a phone screen for 15 minutes. Then 4 rounds of Skype interviews with the head of trading, head of quant and 2 senior traders. The first one with the head of trading is mainly related to brainteasers and options knowledge. The second interview with the head of quant is related to probability questions on dice and coins. The third interview with a senior trader is related to option greek knowledge and personality. The last focused only on personality. The last person who asked only personality questions seemed to have an issue with every answer I gave and looked like he was searching for a reason to reject ( lasted for 75 mins instead of the alloted 30minutes). The experience was good and I did well for all the interview rounds, except for the last one.

I list the interview stages in sequence
1. phone interview
2. 1-1 interview with 3 different people

Interview Questions
1. Player 1 has 6 coins, Player 2 has 7 coins. During the game, each player toss all their coins and count the number of heads. The player with the most heads win. What is the probability of player 1 winning?

I didn't solve this question completely. But I listed out the steps that I will take to compute the probability distribution at the end. I don't think it is a very interesting question. But computationally, it is rather tedious. There might be a cute way of doing the calculations but I didn't find it.

Interview
The first round online test was pretty easy, no supervision, including mental math and sequence.
But the phone interview with Senior trader was not pleasant, asking about motivation and defition of call option. I answered correctly. Rejected me and said there was no clear negatives and felt I was not above average...lol
Interview Questions
The trader asked me - Why did you apply our firm, specifically why did you send your resume to our firm at the position? What are the most important factors to make a good trader? How would your family and close friends describe you? How would your supervisor describe you? Other than that, he also asked me what is the definition of call option. He also asked me if i do any trade and how would i do it. What kind of techniques do I use when trading ? Do I apply any mathematical models to trade? He also let me ask him questions.
