Ensure you thoroughly research which division you will go into - this will definitely impact your experience of the work and the team. If you can reach out to someone in the team you after after on LinkedIn, definitely do so and ask for a quick Zoom chat - they are very likely to say yes and ensure to prepare questions well in advance.
