Does anybody actually put any stock in the presence or absence of
vendor certifications on a resume when judging the
capabilities of an engineer?

No stock whatsoever. In fact when we advertise open positions we stress that experience and capability are FAR more important to us than certification.


There's no correlation between certification and capability, in my experience.

Certification is merely a secondary revenue stream for said vendors, period.
