Brief intro:

company just over 8-9 months ago was acquired by another. Used to be an IT technician providing support mainly for internal IT and some clients.

Then new company came in, switched jobs now became an off site consultant doing only client work. not necesarily infastructure work. could be anything IT related.

The whole takeover process was poor and my entire career for past 7 months has been at a stand still almost doing work i dont enjoy and taking a step back alkmost for best part of it.

Watched as around 12-13 friends and colleagues left the office and the entire life and atmosphere litrally sucked out of it. (new compnay is really poor in the way they do things and the way they treat employees)

So this company that i loved, the office that i loved working in and people i loved working with has all been torn to shreds. hence why im moving on to a new job...

Now in the exit interview: should i be brutally honest as to how i feel about the company and the way they did things, and exactly how i feel about them?
feel like a may burn a bridge if i do, but at same time nothing will change if i dont? or do company not really take any notice of these at all?

what do you think is best. give it my all let them know how poor i believe the company sis in most of its aspects or just give brief kinder answers so not to risk burning the bridge.

my first ever exit interview so not sure whats best and got mixed opinions off people at office.
 
i wasnt going to just **** off the company for no reason.

was always going to be well the way the company did this upset people because of xy and z. in future in would be better if they did this and that.

and i will be getting references from my boss and line manager in future who i get along with exceptionally well.

PS one example is, their internal IT support. Its a support service be it internal or external. so they should have a phone number / email address to contact them on. They dont.
Instead you have to log onto a portal and log a call via there rubbishly laid out intranet site.

To get onto this intranet you need user name pass. if your user pass expires. how do you log a call to get it reset? (you get a colleague to do it.) but thats besides the point should be a way in which you yourself can contact IT to do this.

so getting a phone /email address for IT would be good.
