I don't understand why companies do this. It's like the entire hiring process -- including the technical interviews -- is just something the company does because it's supposed to, and is not used as a way to actually find a developer who can do what they need/want.
Pass a super difficult interview? Cool, welcome aboard! Now we can assign you random tasks. But this isn't what you want to do? Why does that matter? It's your job now. Do it anyway.

It all makes sense now...
I decided to quit my job. I was supposedly hired as an Android developer, but during the past few months I found myself doing everything except Android development: SQL scritps, frontend web development, backend web development, RESTful API's, DBA, release engineering... There's nothig wrong about being versatile, it's actually fun, but I wasn't doing what I really wanted to do and, most importantly, the manager didn't appreciate the fact that I was doing things that I'm not supposed to do, and not only that, I was doing it just as good as some full time web devs who do nothing but web development in the company. I'm pissed off. They probably believe the next Android dev they hire will do all the shit I was doing, accepting the same pay. Fuck them.
