For my first exit interview (2.5 yrs, Big3 Indian Consulting Firm), I was leaving purely for the low and unfair HR compensation policies. I had not planned what to say in exit interview, but the way it turned out is I flipped the question back on HR: "How many exit interviews have you done in the last 3 months? (I knew she'd done atleast 10-15). And tell me top 3 changes or actions that you've taken based on them" The discussion hilariously turned towards how she didn't really have the power to do anything, except to be a pretty lady face on the way out for soon to be ex-employees and 'give feedback to senior mgmt' but without any power to influence any remedial measures. If you are working in a big company with more than hundreds/thousands of employees, you are leaving pretty much for one of these 3 things: 1. Compensation 2. Compensation in other name(promotion, rank, perceived status) 3. Bad/asshole mgmt, stupid policies etc everything else that makes Scott Adams successful. In such orgs, by the time you are giving exit interview, almost anyone responsible up-down in your chain knows why you're leaving. And everyone knows nothing's going to change just because one guy is leaving. So don't expect much, don't give much. Just say your goodbyes and leave.
