Exit interview
The job I left in December was one that went very sour over the past year. There were some leadership changes that directly affected me, and my department...not in a positive way. The culture has been moving away from the mission and more toward #'s and $'s. Many people felt unsafe and worried that they had a job each day. That said, is it worth leaving comments that reflect this in the exit survey?
I think it depends on the company. For some it it a formality and some really do use the information to improve the company and culture for those who are still there. The main item that I always keep in mind is - never burn a bridge, no matter how tempting it can be to get everything off of your chest.
I had the same exact situation and I chose to lay it all out in my exit interview (which was a written document only because no one had the time to spare and sit down with me on my last day). After 15 years with the same organization, there was no way I wasn't going to let them know exactly why I was walking out the door with no other job. It isn't like that document saw the light of day with anyone but the head of HR but it made me feel better to put it down on paper and save a copy so I could send it to anyone else there who asked me why I left. As long as you have other references secured, I say go for it.
Was your feedback...well...direct?
