I initially had a behavioral & technical phone interview. First half hour was answering behavioral questions and the second half was solving 2 coding challenges using their online coding tool.
My on-site had 4 rounds, for the first 3 rounds the first 20 minutes were asking behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles. The last 40 was spent on solving some problems they give you. They give you the option of either coding it on the white board or on a laptop, but you can't just get away with pseudocode. They will actually test out what you code on the whiteboard. Luckily, I practiced a lot with whiteboarding and timing myself, so I was able to get used to coding without the help of an editor!
My last round was the "Bar Raiser" and this one was definitely hard. The purpose of this round is to push yourself to see how far you can go, both in a behavioral question as well as a technical. I would say it was a Hard Level Leetcode problem.
For my Data Structures & Algo classes, I took a couple in college, but to refreshen myself I took Colt Steele's course in Udemy. It was honestly the best class I've taken on D&Algo. I definitely recommend it!

Yes, it is very Data Structure & Algorithm heavy!
