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).

Interview
It was a lot faster than I thought it would be. Honestly, I was trying to slow roll them for another fund in a different geography but the delta between initial call and offer was two weeks.

Started out with a screening call with VP, then spoke to two partners and the other VP. Afterwards I spoke to the two GPs before a model test and a "super day". "Super day" consisted of meeting everyone in person and a beer test.
Interview Questions
There was one MGP I met with that asked the weirdest questions. "Tell me something you don't like about your colleagues" and I felt like I was put in an awkward spot. I just kept saying that it's hard for me to judge and that we all have a lot to improve on. He kind of creeped me out during the interview.

Once I started out working though, he turned out to still be a weird guy but not creepy.

There was another interviewer who clearly didn't remember our phone screen and asked me the exact same questions. I wasn't sure if that was a test or not.
