Standard SDE intern interview process for Amazon. Sent 3 OAs with the first being a debugging challenge, second being a coding challenge, and the third being a work simulation. Debugging challenge was actually quite difficult, but other 2 OAs are not bad. Final interview was a video interview where I was asked a Leetcode medium. Interviewer was pretty nice and overall a good and clear interviewing process.
