I start taking notes and have endless questions for everyone. By the end of the first days it is clear to me that most people there, even some veteran product managers have a very incomplete ideas. By the end of the first few weeks I generally end up being the most knowledgeable person in the team (or at least among the top) because generally most people don't give two damns and are there for the paycheck so I'm reminded of how low the bar is in pretty much any environment. A nice side effect of my approach is that you end up learning a terrific amount about the other team mates and you force people into questioning their knowledge themselves.
