For Amazon/AWS make sure to read up on and fully understand various "Amazon Leadership Principles". For each principle try to come up with examples in your life where you have exhibited that (prepare that before the interview). In the behavioral type questions try to frame your answers as displaying one or more of these "leadership principles" but don't make it obvious that that's what you are doing. For example talk about how you went above and beyond to help out a customer but don't say "I exhibited 'Customer Obsession' leadership principle when I did x, y and z" unless the interviewer referenced Leadership Principles explicitly.
Yes it sounds a bit culty but many interviewers I used to work with put a ton of weight in these principles and the hiring process is designed to seriously consider them (they are not an afterthought). You wanna have these down pat and is probably the lowest effort way you can increase your odds. 2 hrs studying and considering these will likely go farther than doing 2 LeetCode practice questions during that time period.
