I graduated with an electrical engineering degree and have been doing embedded microcontroller code throughout most of my career, and have basically never learned algorithms. I decided to take some time and study specifically for interviews - but I found that learning the algorithms has made me a better software developer in subtle ways. I believe it is important for engineers to know "one level down", and it is good to know what the various data structures are used for so I can use the correct one when needed, such as set vs list vs deque, etc
