you can't just say nothing... uncomfortable silence is uncomfortable.
that's your problem. work on avoiding having to give your power away.
that's what is going on. they want to probe for weakness or reasons to 'mark you down badly'.
nothing good comes from this. trust me. been working quite a long time in tech, in many of the top-named large and small companies. not once was an exit interview beneficial to ME. and I know for a fact that it has hurt me (a friend at a past job somehow got sight of my exit interview text and said that I was forever blackballed from returning to that place again).
believe it.
just say nothing or excuse yourself.
its like getting questioned by a cop. nothing good can come from that. just say as little as you can and get the hell out of there as fast as you can.
this is a no-win situation and they try to sell it as a way to 'fix' things that need fixing. there is zero truth to that, I assure you.
please, for your own sake, bypass the exit interview. please. you will thank me years from now for this advice. I learned the hard way. you should not have to.
I wish I could disagree, but my life's experience says otherwise. People, especially corporations, do NOT want honest answers. The best advice has already been given: say nothing, smile, and leave.
