Different companies react differently to certification, but it doesn't hurt anywhere.

The much more important thing is to actually understand the material. If you can do well on the certification exam, it does indicate some rote knowledge. Now the challenge is to use that knowledge effectively.

Practice using your programming knowledge effectively. That counts for more in most companies, especially the better ones. Every employer appreciates educated, motivated people who work hard to continue their skills development. The fact that you worked to attain certification and succeeded would count more than the certificate itself for enlightened management.
