There are popular books such as Cracking the Coding Interview and sites like the following where you can practice:

Also interesting is Coding Interview University a GitHub repo with over 100K stars containing a massive amount of resources to prepare you well for a technical interview at just about any software company, including the giants: Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.
