Depends on the cert. If they required me to get some useless Microsoft cert, then I would tell them to fuck off. Or if they told me to get some ridiculously useless CompTIA cert. It would just be an insult to the employee's because no company I have met, or interviewed with, have taken CompTIA certifications seriously.
They are met to impress HR; the technical interviewers don't care about that sort of stuff.]
Now if they told me I had to get a certification from IBM about AIX, and they were willing to pay for it, then I would probably do it.
