What is the meaning of あいつはあいつで?


I encountered the phrase in this line:

> あいつはあいつで、きちんとバイトしているらしい。

I think I can intuit the general meaning but I was wondering if anyone had a
full explanation.




「あいつはあいつで～～」 means "He ~~ in his own way."

As the word 「きちんと = "properly"」 may suggest,

> **"Pronoun X + は + Same Pronoun X + で"**

expresses the speaker's opinion that the Person X is doing something at least
on a satisfactory level if not on an extraordinary level.

「これはこれでおいしい。」 = "This dish tastes OK if not spectacular." ==> "It tastes good
in its own way."

One can also use a real personal name instead of a pronoun in this expression
as in.

> 「スミスはスミスでちゃんと働{はたら}いている。」
