I'm still new to the industry, but my CS education (yours may differ) was quite theory-heavy.
Perhaps the knowledge of data structures and algorithms can be useful for people who need to design whole architectures and systems, but I think the folks who are fixing bugs, tweaking the UI, or adding small features would benefit more from Code Complete than an Algorithms book.
