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
Chairman was very friendly. Set up an informal interview with me and he discussed what the firm did and what sector they operate in. Very laid back and gave me an offer on the spot, citing strong work experience background would make me a great addition to the team.
Interview Questions
In total, not much was too difficult in this one. Was asked to gauge my interest in the technology, media and telecommunications sector as this is the industries the firm engages in. Was also asked some very basic finance and valuations questions, such as walking him through a discounted cash flow, and what would be potential reasons for a firm to engage in mergers and acquisitions activities. Another unexpected question was whether I wanted to join as an analyst, which should have been obvious given my background.
