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
I was connected with the firm through my father, who is a real estate lawyer and has done work with the company before. They usually only hire summer interns who have connections with higher-ranking employees. The interview consisted of in-person conversations in the New York City office (which is downtown near SoHo) with the head of human resources and two associates. I was interviewing for a position on the Loan Sales advisory desk, so the technical questions were entirely focused on mortgages. They were not too detailed, but mostly were about the recession and mortgages' role in causing the financial crisis. The human resource interview was entirely behavioral. Questions were pretty generic. I was asked to talk about a time I faced a challenge, and how I overcame it, and I was asked to explain why I went to the college that I attended and why I was majoring in the major I was in.
Interview Questions
I see you've researched the company, so can you explain to me what exactly it is we do on the loan sales advisory desk?
The answer is that the firm bundles together subprime commercial mortgages that were issued by banks, and sells them at a discount to high return seeking investors (mostly private equity) at a discount.
I see that you put on your resume that you are proficient in Excel, so if I were to ask you to work with pivot tables and to use VLookup functions right now, could you?
When I said yes, the interviewer did not make me actually go to a computer and prove it.
