I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2017
Interview
I applied online around 3 months back. I received the online assessment over a week back containing a debugging section - 7 questions for 20 minutes and an analytical reasoning section containing 24 questions for 35 minutes. I had all test cases passing for the debugging section and finished that 10 minutes early. I was short on time in the Analytical Reasoning section. I am guessing the analytical reasoning section was the reason why they rejected me.
If you write code on a daily basis and have a lot of project/internship experience, you probably don't need to prepare for the debugging questions. The best way to practice would be HackerRank/LeetCode. Also, make sure you read the question properly and analyze what's wrong in the test cases when you run the given code. That should give you a big hint about what to fix in the code. The bugs are usually very simple but also very common among programmers.
For the analytical reasoning section, make sure you practice questions that you can find online. The questions individually are not that hard but you need to be fast in solving them.

Interview
One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
2 rounds:
1st round: 3 behaviorals: Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you used Gen AI, tell me about a time you faced a problem in one of your experiences
Leetcode similar to LRU Cache but a variant
2nd round: 3 more behaviorals; tell me about yourself, a specific experience in my internship, a time you disagreed with manager/peer on a project

Interview
Pretty difficult OA didn't need to get full score. One round technical interview with SDE. Interview was pretty easy, most people I knew at school and friends ended up passing the interview. Took about 1 month to hear back after interview
