It isn't about going back to the company, although I have seen people do that, usually with a better position. It is about stuff like having good references and leads for new jobs. All the people you worked with at the last job are going to leave the company eventually.

The time for honesty is probably in the 360 review. If they weren't going to fix themselves after a 360 review then they probably aren't going to do it after an exit interview.

Definitely, don't burn your reference bridges.... Just tell those in the exit interview all the reasons you are leaving (in a nice way) but don't hold back. Do not be politically correct.
