They sound incredibly spoiled. Where should I send my CV?

You don't really want that. I'm keeping my sanity there just because my small company is running their CI and testing as contractor.

They indeed are quite spoiled - and that's not necessarily a good thing. Part of the issue is that our CI was good and fast enough that at some point a lot of the new hires never bothered to figure out how to build the code - so for quite a few the workflow is "commit to a branch, push it, wait for CI, repeat". And as they often just work on a single problem the "wait" is time lost for them, which leads to the unhappiness if we are too slow.

It is still quite commendable that your outer dev loop (commit, push, build) is fast enough to work as a devs inter dev loop (edit, build/test).
