I think it's an opportunity to cast your employment in a good light, leave on a positive note (maybe that's even true in a lot of cases), and maintain your relationships.
I certainly don't see any value in venting or burning bridges - you've already quit, now let it go; ranting doesn't do you any favours, even if it feels great.

- nemo44x 12y agoI agree with this. Use it at as an opportunity to say pleasant things about the company and people you worked with, considering you're leaving because you found a new job and not because you were harassed, etc. You will probably run into some of these people again or they will know people you use to work with at such-and-such company.
- rogerbinns 12y agoI meant the alternative of not doing one at all. As opposed to venting, or trying to change things. Even if you try to be positive it is problematic. Firstly if you are so positive, then why are you leaving? Secondly even only being positive means you leave things out. How is someone going to feel when they read it, and see you don't mention them or mention them enough. The good light/positive leaving can be better accomplished by your farewell email, as you get to choose who it goes to (most likely far more people than just the exit interview) and you can put in it whatever you want.
