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
The role was a F500 rotational programme for the firm - we had to submit a resume online (Heineken doesn't do on campus recruiting for this particular role) then complete a series of online tests within a time schedule. If you were successful there, you'd be scheduled for a 2:1 interview with a member of the HR and a Finance line manager over Skype. If you clear that, the company invites you to a 1-day long AC held near the Heineken HQ in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The AC included an individual presentation on a case study; a group "creative task" where, in a team, candidates were asked to build the longest path possible for a golf ball to travel down; a group discussion in teams of 3/ 4 and an 8-mins debriefing presentation on the same case study; finally, a 2:1 "functional" interview again, this time with 2x senior managers, where they'd ask you 4-5 canned questions to assess behaviour, fit, character. They got back to all candidates within 2 working days following the AC.
Interview Questions
In the online assessments - you had to recognise patterns, answer pre-recorded video questions on the fly, there were also aspects of logical & critical thinking involved in number processing. Also a short "English section" where you had to fill in the blanks within a passage. They wanted to test if you spoke decent English, and this section probably wouldn't be an issue for most.

The Skype interview(s) - a lot of grilling on aspects on CV. I guess the usual.

AC - your typical full day assessment process, with a roleplay, individual task/ presentation with a debriefing in the end on some fictional case study they provide, a group presentation also on the case study, a "creative task" where you're put to work with 5-6 other people to jointly create something, and finally a 2:1 interview at the end. Throughout all exercises, you're being monitored and/ or questioned by a group of assessors.
