I'm leaving my current job for a better offer. These are my last few days at this company, and HR wants me to do an exit interview. Can I refuse? I have nothing good to say about this company, and I don't want to sit through an awkward meeting with HR, pretending everything is great at the company.

Personally I’d do it. While it’s awkward it’s YOUR opportunity to set the record. They do record what you say even if it goes no where but if enough people have similar issues it could eventually lead to change. Do it for those who are afraid to leave.

funny

I don't see why not, as long as you're okay with them potentially telling you to leave today instead of on Friday. If you're not okay with that or want to avoid burning the bridge, I'd just sit through it. You have no obligation to lie to them if you do.

If you are already on your way out, what are they going to do about it? It can serve its purpose, even though chances are once you leave, you are washing your hands of the place anyway.

I see no value in these unless you had a good experience. Let them figure out why their a crappy company, and they should have had feedback systems set up to improve their situation. You have no obligation to do it either way. If they were a solid company you could give them valuable feedback both positive/negative.

Do it but don’t burn bridges

It's up to you. However, consider that it could burn a bridge you need down the road. Be honest and respectful, and you might be surprised how it helps your mentality to get it off your chest. You will also be able to confirm to another group in the company that they just lost another great person. It's a pretty great feeling:)

Just say all nice things and that you were excited for a new opportunity. They’re will turn whatever legit gripe you have around onto you (that was my experience, at least). I ended up reiterating to them that was the whole reason I was leaving. Made me super annoyed.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
