It has been a while since this interview, I didn’t want to post this immediately after because I truly love the company and wanted to continue to keep an eye out for future opportunities, hoping that the negative interviewer wouldn’t be a gatekeeper for other potential positions. She is apparently gone now, for any future applicants. Maybe it was her, maybe it was that she was having a terrible day and took it out on me. Nonetheless, the scheduling conflict and the internal miscommunication about the interview style are things to be wary about. The writing prompts and interview questions with the first two people were wonderful. Incandescent's blog has a lot of helpful information.
