Have you found the level of career support very helpful? How much more to it is there than just resume prep?

A couple more things we do. Top level OP had several complaints about these, but according to our collective feedback the vast majority of these go very well and these mentors are often nominated as the 'most impactful mentor of the week' awards we do.
1. Everyone does at least one extensive resume review with a FAANG/ex-FAANG recruiter (and more on-demand as needed). Most have many many years of experience. The OP didn't have a good experience with their reviewer, but you can always work with different people if you are not on the same page with a recruiter. Even if you aren't on the same page with several, you can keep trying.
2. Everyone does at least one recruiter-call mock phone screen with a FAANG/ex-FAANG recruiter (as many as you need until you pass). Simulating a real mock phone screen. And unlimited more as needed.
3. Most people will do technical behavioral group sessions and 1-1 mocks with staff/principal/director/senior manager level engineers. This is simulating a hiring manager call and focused on talking about your experience.
4. Once you have interviews, you can book on demand calls with a FAANG/ex-FAANG recruiter to about job hunt strategy, offer process, negotiation, wording of emails etc...
