Not in my experience - in Australia, Mensa is a sort of lonely-hearts club for single, middle-aged programmers. The few meetings I went to were as tedious, awkward and onanistically self-congratulatory as you would expect, and I let my membership lapse soon after.
I've heard that in other parts of the world membership can be very worth-while, as long as there are active SIGs within your field of interest.
Oh, and whatever you do, please don't put Mensa membership on your CV, unless you want to look like a prat. Joining Mensa is not an accomplishment - if you're applying for a job in the upper tiers of any white-collar profession, being in the 98th percentile is pretty much a given.
