My personal opinion is that they're not worth what you pay for them.
While some employers do value them, I think if you are the type of
person who would get one, you're better off having something like "Can
write exploits" on your resume instead. I also know some employers who
either ignore them completely, or count them against you - and you can
read the old CISSP or GIAC "papers" to see why.
