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.

Background Check
Interview
The interview process began with a phone call lasting approximately 30 minutes. Next, USAA and the Chief Financial Office staff visit my campus, Texas A&M, to hold initial interviews for the candidates they selected from the initial phone call. In addition, they held a dinner for candidates to mix with recent hires. About 2-3 weeks later, I was informed I was invited to USAA's super day. This super day consists of 3 different interviews and a skills test with 3 other interviewees. After this super day, I found out 3 weeks later I was to receive an offer of employment for their CFO Summer Internship.
Interview Questions
The most difficult question asked was certainly in regards to why I chose to pursue USAA. USAA has a great culture centered around the military and its family. An interviewee MUST somehow relate to this mission by giving antecdotal evidence or even better, truly understanding the history, mission, and values of the company. For me, having been prior service, I found it very easy to FIT with USAA, but it can be a challenge for others who do not have a direct tie to the military. It is certainly not a requirement to have direct ties to the military, because less than 10% have ever served in any military capacity, but a future USAA employee must have a passion to serve those who have once served.
