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.

I applied for the role by emailing HR with my CV. I was then invited to attend a superday with 5 other candidates.

I had two interviews on the day with two directors. The first one was mainly a mixture of competency and technical and the second was simply a chat about my dissertation and competency questions.

Notable questions:

Interview
Applied online, about a month later I got a call to do an interview. It was broken into three different parts: technical, group case, and behavioural (one hour each). Heard back 1-2 months later. Pretty straightforward questions, nothing that was unexpected.
Interview Questions
The group case was probably the most pressure, we had 45 minutes to solve a technology case with three other people who were also interviewing. Two employees sat in the back and took notes while the four of us worked with each other. At the end, we had to give a presentation on our solution and they asked us some questions we didn't expect given the time crunch. Another question I wish I put more thought into was "who do you think is the most innovative company and why" because I'm pretty sure I gave out a generic answer.

Interview
Interview process went well. First round was phone screening by recruiter. Second round was interview with director of corp. dev. (who is now my boss) and third round was 1 on 1 with the CFO of the company. They had just entered acquisition mode, after taking out a loan and wanted to bulk up their M&A team.

Interview Questions
Asked a lot of Excel questions: which formulas do you know, do you know "sumif", vlookups, graphs, etc.
walk me down a dcf, he wanted me to walk him down a typical dcf, after he explained the role and said that they hardly use the merger model, since the companies they source and look at all are accretive to EPS and not dilutive
