Question 1
Was given a Photoshop file and some guidelines, then I was required to build a fully-functional web page and host it for review.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ally Financial (Fort Washington, PA) in Nov 2010
Interview
Phone screen followed by a coding challenge. Then an on-site interview with a panel including the department head, a back-end programmer, and a front-end developer. In this interview I had to describe my code challenge solution in detail and my thinking process, discuss alternate approaches, etc. Must say it was one of the most enjoyable interviews I have ever had. Everyone was friendly and encouraging and the camaraderie was palpable.

Question 1
They gave me a problem to solve that ultimately had no solution. They wanted to see how I approached the problem rather than getting a correct answer.
