What does the EM exotics team do? (interview prep) (HELP!!)

Thank you for reading the following:

I have a final stage interview next week with a BB in London with their EM exotics team, following a successful AC/Superday.

During this AC I learnt that one of the products the teams trade is options on interest rate swaps?

Other than that I really don't know much about EM or Exotics (It is an entry level job (degree apprenticeship) - and I'm 18yo about to start my a levels) 

If someone could either inform me or direct me to good websites; to research and learn about EM - Exotics, the different products traded on that desk - and just the best overall way to prepare for a final stage 30 min interview? (bearing in mind I have passed 2 round of interviews already and I am meeting with 2 new interviewers in the EM exotics team next week)

Thank you so much, really appreciate any insight!!

Yeah ikr - from my previous interviews I know the main countries and markets they trade in, however we only ever discussed ever one product, options on interest rate swaps. I'm just wondering if their are any other main product an EM exotics team at a global BB would trade? Cheers
