Is it that bad not knowing the specifics of your day job?
Filling gaps can be interesting too, you get to see a lot of different things, and some companies actually try to put you on jobs you find interesting.
On the opposite side, some interviewers have a model job story to tell candidates, and it may actually be your job for a month, until they shut it down and have you join the ranks of turd polishers.
I'd say an even redder flag than not knowing what you will work on is getting what looks like the only interesting job in the company.
