Like all things, there's a place and time. If you're walking out over unfair treatment or wage theft or similar, sure, skip the interview. If you're at the end of your first internship, or leaving on good terms, or both parties genuinely care, there's plenty to be gained. The exit interview I had with an intern after my first time mentoring was very valuable for both of us, and was a positive point in our relationship. On the other hand, I'm quitting the same job and will be declining any exit interview with "I've spent the last six months explaining to you why I'm quitting". There is no value at all to be gained from the conversation so I won't. Skip the interview if the job sucks. Participate if you think you'll get value, or in particular if you're young and early in your career.
