I applied online. I interviewed at KingswaySoft (Oakville, ON) in Jun 2026
Interview
Went through the full interview process for this role, which included an initial phone screen where salary expectations were discussed. At that stage, I provided a range of $70–80k based on my experience and market expectations.
After progressing through additional interviews and reference checks, I received an offer that was only slightly below my stated range ($65k). I was still very interested in the role given its proximity and alignment with my experience, so I responded with a polite message asking whether there was any flexibility on compensation or additional benefits such as vacation days.
I did not receive a counteroffer or further negotiation. Instead, the offer was withdrawn entirely.
The interview process itself was standard. However, candidates should be aware that compensation appears to be effectively non-negotiable at the offer stage. Even a modest, professional attempt to negotiate may result in the offer being rescinded without further conversation.
Note: Although salary range is asked early at the phone screen stage, the actual offer amount is only revealed at the very end of the process, and it may come in below the range discussed.
I would strongly advise candidates to assume the initial offer is final before responding.
One telephone screen (basic oop questions, behavior questions and experience ) followed by an onsite coding and logic interview. Overall they were very easy. You are likely to hear them back very fast if you meet the requirements.

Interview
I received a follow-up call about a day after applying. I had a phone interview that covered technical questions, followed by an in-person interview with the technical team leader and manager. They were very nice and friendly. The behavioral questions were standard, and the technical questions were very quiz-like. After the interview, I asked about the expected waiting time and was told it would be 1-2 weeks. I had high hopes of being accepted because the company is near my home. Two weeks later, I still hadn't heard from them, so I sent a follow-up email and the company replied that I wasn't selected.
