It depends on who you're asking. Big corps and upper management love PMP's because it's like having an MBA to them, somehow, they can't imagine that anyone else could do the job.
If you as programmers, PMP's are useless and a clear signal to avoid the company at all costs.
If you ask me, as someone who's been to a few courses, the PMP cert isn't ideal for IT. It lags behind in more up to date PM methods, and focuses too much on process and not enough on results.
