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

Applied online then was asked to take a generic IQ and personality test. Received a phone interview after where the interviewer asked some basic fit questions. Didn't hear back for over a month. Then, received an email asking me to complete an excel test. The test consisted of analyzing data from private investments and calculating some metrics like MOIC and IRR (was a straightforward test where you had to use functions like sumif, vlookup, indexmatch, IRR). Received an email back in 3 weeks to schedule a group interview. Two rounds of group interviews with 2 people each where they just ask fit questions to see if you'd fit in their culture.

They really dig deep into your answers for the behavioral questions.
