Most jobs which pay well have bad reputation: ads, banks, betting/gambling, freemium games for kids, etc. Do what you like and focus on what makes you happy. If you care too much about pleasing others you'll end up at a workplace with good reputation but may feel sick for not getting challenged enough, not doing what you love with colleagues you may dislike in a culture you don't fit in. So my advise is: take a job that suits you, not a job that suits others. Finally, I've worked for a niche bank with very interesting ambitious people and fun challenges, but I guess that varies greatly between different banks.
