The problem is in your getTimeRemaining function:

if (seconds < 0 && seconds <= -10) {
    seconds = "0" + seconds;
    minutes = "-" + minutes;
  }

First, you’ll have to change the condition to seconds >= -10,
second, when that condition is true, the value of seconds is negative, so you’re essentially assigning seconds with "0" + -5, which (due to type coercion - the first value is a string so the second one will be converted to a string, too) evaluates to 0-5. The solution is to make seconds positive again:

if (seconds < 0 && seconds >= -10) {
    seconds = "0" + -seconds;
  }

Also, setting the minutes in that if condition makes no sense, because it’s only true during the first 10 seconds after the countdown went below zero.
