Can I be honest during my exit interview ? Is it going to break any bridge? My reason for leaving is b/c a wrong placement on a project not my skill set and poor senior manager leadership skills

Don’t be honest. Explain how you benefited from working from there and take the high road. You will feel a lot better after.

I'm planning on addressing some concerns about the new performance assessment system and EY staffing issues, along with things that were great experiences here. Never badmouth specific people when you leave. Do that to their face if you need to, not in an exit interview....

Chances are the exit interview gets thematically summarized for leaders and will be so diluted anything specific you say won’t matter. If there are legit concerns with specific people, can’t hurt to share with people you trust to avoid like the plague. There are a lot of bad SMs that are rarely exposed bc EY lacks 360 feedback.

I had mine today, and talked about concerns with tribal knowledge transfer and an environment that encourages material hoarding. Couple that with the exodus that happens every year, and you lose a lot of that knowledge. Otherwise, it was more timing and lack of a promotion path for technical expertise and project delivery. The EM actually was asking me about the first item, so hopefully that feedback gets used.
