Early Rejection At PayPal Interview Lonsdale recalled that while studying at Stanford University , he noticed many of the "smartest, most interesting people" around him heading to PayPal, which at the time had only around 70 to 80 employees. He decided to apply, but his first interview did not go well. "He had me on the whiteboard and we argued about something.

I didn't get an offer." https://t.co/gxf9o76SV9 pic.twitter.com/sZx7j9xdg3 — Jawwwn (@jawwwn_) April 14, 2026 Don't Miss: A single bad hire can set a startup back years.
