This has been a ubiquitous and openly stated goal from management in every job I've had. In one job that followed a consultant's implementation of Agile to the letter, it was actually part of new employee on-boarding to be turned into a full-stack developer no matter what your background was.
Our team worked on a large predictive analytics project, and you can imagine how hard it was to recruit machine learning engineers when the proposition was, "Gee, your amazing degree from Georgia Tech and your experience building a novel recommender system from scratch for a start-up are great and all, but don't you think it would be good for you to spend 6 months fixing Javascript bugs related to poor performance of some of our app's drop-down menus? BTW if you don't exude boisterous enthusiasm for that, it means you're toxic, poor attitude, not a team player, and HR will never let you through the interview process."
