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.

Phone Interview
Interview
I was set up through a head hunter, to whom I initially sent my resume. The first phone interview was relatively easy. I walked through my deals that I had done over the past year and a half at my respective investment bank. I was asked a few questions regarding my deals as well. I chose to decline the final round, as I realized I didn't think the fit would be great.
Interview Questions
The paper LBO was alright. I was asked to make up all of my own assumptions, and the interviewer was completely silent while I walked through them, which was fine. I wasn't given a ton of verbal feedback at the time.
I was asked to evaluate a company that the interviewer either made up or had evaluated before. I was given very little information, but was asked what I would diligence and how I would think about it from an investing standpoint.
