Just know though, that there are different places out there. I surely am tempting Murphy right now. Please recognize my sacrifice.
My current place is rather good in this regard. People actually care. The Devs genuinely care about both their work environment and code base. We actively try to hire other people that care and not let in the ones that don't.
We do hire 'inexperienced' as well but that doesn't mean you gotta take bad dev experience. For example I have a really 'inexperienced' guy on my team. But we hire him anyway because he showed signs of 'caring' during the interview and coding challenge (take home - I know what you think. It's different than you think and I'd be happy to elaborate if you want to). He is awesome! I try as hard as I can to give him the space to be awesome and not let the 'bad parts' of the company (which exist even in awesome companies) reach and discourage him (and others like him).
We keep our builds fast, we spend a bunch of money on giving every dev a prod like environment. A monorepo.
