Does it look bad to refuse an exit interview?

Exit interviews are not a requirement for someone leaving a company. You are welcome to turn down the request. But if you do the exit interview, which I recommend, be honest when answering questions. A good company should listen to your concerns about the culture, comp, benefits, team, etc. and work to implement methods or practices to improve the operation and culture of the company.

Lol definitely don't be honest, no reward all risk for you

Eh you could just do it and smile and say all good just got an opportunity you couldn't turn down

It's 100% up to you. I think to make sure things stay kosher with the team, jumping ship and going through the motions without being honest is the best way to preserve your reputation and relationships.

I hate to say it but we all deep down know the organization doesn't care about your feedback. If they did, they would've asked you before you were out the door.

You do need to, but if you have feedback you would like to share in a productive manor it’s a nice way yo provide that information

I agree with other comment if you ever plan to use them as a reference in the future.

Eh, I would just go through the motions. Why risk burning a bridge?

It's only potentially risky if you don't have an offer in hand yet and you really want to vent about troublesome mgmt. Depending on industry, it can feel like a very small world (especially w/platforms like LinkedIn that make unofficial reference checks super easy to do). If you're diplomatic in your critiques, it's not (or at least it shouldnt be) bridge-burning.

why would you care how it looks...you have already "exited"

Not at all. But out of curiosity, why would youV

Totally fine. Exit interviews are optional. You also can say as much or as little as you like in an exit interview.
