Probably a giant C++ codebase. Our CI runs can take well over an hour. C++ compiles so damn slowly compared to Java.
You should probably hire better C++ developers if it takes that long.

How long should a giant C++ code base take to compile?
Your CMake makes incremental builds safe, and the ccache saves you when switching between branches.

I've seen tens of thousands of lines of code compile in 30 minutes.
I've seen a hundred thousand lines of code compile in 2 minutes.
It really depends on how the project is laid out. If you're using lots of header-only libraries and try to compile monolithically (like soooooo many C++ applications do these days), you're going to have a bad (compile) time.
I've seen each and every one of these and it never tires.

With a good CMake configuration and Ninja and ccache, a minute or two max. Your CMake makes incremental builds safe, and the ccache saves you when switching between branches.

I'd blame your source code more than Jenkins. Our jenkins instance runs our CI in a couple of minutes.
Not everyone is working on projects that are little more than CRUD webapps. I've worked on code that took hours to compile even on beefy machines.
At the other extreme I've also worked at Google and have seen insanely complex C++ code bases compile in 30 seconds flat.
Multiple hour build times usually show that nobody smart enough had the interest and authority to solve the problem properly. It doesn't generally mean that your project is awesome. It certainly isn't something that I would brag about.

you should probably become more experienced in c/c++ development before sharing your opinion
