The thing that I just cannot stop wondering is, why, knowing the perks of industry, advisers still treated us like this. Even though ostensibly trying to keep us, it felt more like squeezing out as much as they could.

But people in FAANG do work nights and weekends and it's totally not unusual to be assigned sudden bitchwork by your manager and have no recourse against it.

The recourse is to move to another team or company.
