What Is an Exit Interview?
An exit interview is typically a meeting between at least one representative from a company's human resources (HR) department and a departing employee. (The departing employee usually has voluntarily resigned vs. getting laid off or fired.) The HR rep might ask the employee questions while taking notes, ask the employee to complete a questionnaire, or both.
What's the Purpose of an Exit Interview?
Human resources departments conduct exit interviews (also called exit surveys) to gather data for improving working conditions and retaining employees. However, a hidden purpose is to help employers avoid costly litigation down the road, caused by "disgruntled" employees.
In other words, your comments and the notes an HR rep takes during your exit interview might be used against you in court, should you decide to sue your former employer.
Must I Submit to an Exit Interview?
No. It's your right to decline an exit interview. A reputable employer will respect your decision. However, a not-so-reputable employer might resent that you didn't participate and file a "would not rehire" or similar adverse notation in your personnel records. The same employer might reveal the notation during a background check.

Hi,
In addition to the sound advice given before me, I would you recommend you read "First Break All The Rules" by Curt Coffmann and Marcus Buckingham. They are from Gallup, an organization which has 20+ yrs experience in conducting all types of surveys.
The book discusses in detail, based on actual findings, why people leave organizations and what can be done to retain your best people. When you go through the Q12 (set of 12 questions devised by them to understand organization climate), you will understand better the need and usefulness of exit interviews.
If you can manage the time, you should supplement the above reading with the theories of motivation and theories of leadership which help as a cross check in understanding organization culture and climate, and subsequently, remedial actions to be taken.
