Yup. It’s a great program IMO. It’s a very hard test.
I used “Head First PMP” to study for it, and spend about 4 months 30-60 min every evening. Passed the first time.
KPMG let me expense everything and gave me a $1k bonus for the cert.
The best part about the PMP program is having a clear standard language to use. In practice, you will only cherry pick parts of the program on client engagements that aren’t major, established, multi year manufacturing or software development.
I found it to be a great way to organize how i think about the skills though.
I still don’t have ANY certification. I refuse to get any.

The PMP is only a certificate, not exactly training. You're supposed to be a functioning PM first. That being said, knowing the framework it is based on can help in real world applications.
It is outside the norm to get a bonus or any other compensation for it though, aside from having it paid for.
Hey! I did it though Deloitte as a C. Fully facilitated by Deloitte as well. Can provide details and contacts.
