Screening Interview; mostly asked about my background and familiarity with Excel and Alteryx; interviewer was passionate about her work and the company as a whole; interview was quite preliminary and probably was to just gauge interviewee fit

From what I understood after many rounds, the 'data' part of data solutions is just Excel warrioring. Which isn't entirely incorrect as technically, Excel is a data tool. But it doesn't seem to be a 'data job' that people understand these days. Personally, I got the sentiment that this is actually a position of 'what econ/biz majors think what data people do'. The early rounds folks were really great and articulate. As it went on, I started getting the sense that they may not know what they want in this position. I think it is further evidenced by this position being up since December 2023 and it was still up in March 2024. My process was solidly 2 months long and it was different from each reviewer that posted during my interview timeline. In fact, it was SO lengthy that I finished several processes and faced decision deadlines during the 'manager's manager's (...)' process commented by another person here. It was a lot of Excel. Like a lot of problem solving with Excel. I recommend applying if you really enjoy Excel. I even asked some probing questions and always got the answer that they use a lot of Excel.
