Exit interviews aren't box checking exercises, they exist to give the company a heads up if the employee seems like they're disgruntled and might try to sue. Always skip them, it only benefits the company that laid you off, nobody else.
Exit inerviews can be valuable and beneficial if the exit is on good terms all around.
I left my last job for a better-paying position elsewhere, but I still loved my old job and coworkers. It's still the best job I ever had.
I couldn't pass up a 50% raise and they couldn't match it. No hard feelings or bruised egos. It's just how things work out.
Having an honest conversation with HR about what worked and didn't from an employee perspective with zero stakes for either of us was productive and informative.
thank you. Im all for sticking it to employers, but sharing feedback with a place you left on good terms from seems like a great way to maintain professional relationships. Also helps your old coworkers out.

Does it help your co workers?
If you got fired, no, probably not.
But if you quit then you can leave them a few clues as to why you're leaving and how they might avoid losing more staff. That can help the people you left behind.
The reason I'm quitting is because they didn't pick up the clues that I was looking to leave, and I don't want to help them avoid losing more staff because of it. The people I left behind should take the hint if they were smart.
Just because I might be leaving doesn't mean I want it keeping being a sucky workplace. Ideally I'd move on to something better for me, and people left behind might get an improvement as well.
Some companies in my experience do do exit interviews for people who are fired. This makes more sense when you realize exit interviews are mostly to give the company a heads up if they think you might try to sue them.
At I place I worked they had a few useful people leave in a short time span. All left amicably. They took feedback from the exit interviews on board, and now they are redoing a bunch of the procedures to try and improve the way the workplace functions.
Keeping more people from quitting is helping the company.
I was very happy to do the exit interview at one particular job. I wanted to make it clear to HR that I wasn't leaving because of the manager or the work or my co-workers but because they paid about 2/3 of the market rate in our area.
This was important to me because my manager and co-workers were great and it had gotten around to me that HR was eyeing our manager over having had a few people quit over the last year or two, when it was very clearly all about pay and nothing to do with him.
