Interview with public pension fund

I have an interview with a public pension fund on the West Coast for an entry level analyst position. I've gone through the most recent report to see their allocation strategy. I've developed a list of questions about how they invest and how they think about markets (ex: moving away from alt invest mgrs, bond yields, etc.). Does anyone here work at a public pension fund and know of any other questions / topics in your world that would make me stand out? 

How "safe" is this job? If there's a recession, are these positions more immune to layoffs?
