I tried to skip an exit interview once, the HR person was late to her own meeting. After waiting for 5 minutes, I left. You can bet she called me back in there. Felt so good to tell her one reason I was leaving the company was that no schedule was ever on time in the entire company, ever, including my exit interview.
I told her straight up that I was going to be honest because I had no intention of ever working there again. Being honest really felt great.
Apparently, I was memorable - ran into the HR person in the grocery store years later and she made a point to chat me up.
lol. no.
it's not about working there again. It's potentially working with any of the people that work or have worked there. If you give feedback and it's taken the wrong way/rubs people the wrong way this will come back to haunt you.
so, no feedback. at that point there is literally no upside.
The time for feedback is while you work there.
In my case, there were no repercussions. I didn't make it personal and I didn't call out any individual humans. I was very honest about my perspective of the company as an employee. I always wondered if it would come back to haunt me, never did.
