Facebook

Internet.org is a Facebook initiative to connect the world to the internet. There are 4 billion people with no internet connectivity today, and we work with mobile operators on ways to provide connectivity and affordability of the internet to all. We have seen the deep impact on the people we help connect to the internet, 1 in 10 would find a new job, get knowledge on health, agriculture etc. we are a part of a truly amazing technological effort – from enhancing mobile operators technology to provide affordable data, to providing wifi access to rural villages that needs to withstand hard climate conditions and lack of energy, to satellites and Facebook's own UAVs that can bring connectivity to the furthest places on earth. We're already available to 1 billion people, and it is truly amazing to work on a program that touches so many people and changes the world.

I've been an iOS developer for the past seven years at WhatsApp. I started as a contractor in 2009 and relocated to California in 2013 to join the rest of the WhatsApp team. When I joined the team in 2009, there were only three employees! I helped to create the very first iOS version, which was pretty bare bones. At that time, the app only allowed users to update their status. In 2009, we created the chat feature and started adding more features as the years went on like location sharing, group chats, photo sharing and voice calls. I’m proud of the work our teams are doing. It's a great feeling to see how much our app has progressed over the years and to be a contributor.

Here at Facebook, it’s hard to believe that our time with the summer 2016 Facebook University (FBU) interns has come to an end. Over the course of their internship, they connected with teams on campus, enjoyed events, met new friends, developed their strengths and worked on meaningful projects. But what left a lasting impression? Here's what they shared with us...

I have always been interested in technology and analytics – my degrees are in computer science and economics. Prior to joining Facebook I spent several years working as a management consultant in London. In that role I got to work with Facebook, meet many impressive people, and experience the culture first-hand.

A few weeks ago Facebook University (FBU) interns shared their first impressions as they began their summer internship. Now they're half way through and have already taken on exciting challenges. Take a look at how they've been moving fast and making a meaningful impact.

The internship offers experience across engineering, business, and analytics roles to college students of color and those who are historically underrepresented in the tech industry. In just 8 short weeks, FBU interns are exposed to opportunities that can redefine the way the world connects. Interns are mentored and encouraged to develop their strengths as they contribute to making meaningful impact with their teams.

I joined Facebook 5 years ago and worked on an emerging market product throughout those 5 years. I started on Facebook for Every Phone which was a Facebook product for feature phones (non-smart phones) and shifted to the android world with Facebook Lite.
