What will it (really) accomplish?

Is this something(s) you want?

In other words: Context.

Keep in mind that for "established" organizations, you will be interviewing with HR and not with your own management. (Even if one of them sits in, HR is driving the show.) And HR has its own agenda, goals, and reports.

Amongst other things, if there is a whiff of controversy (that might, even just on an outside chance, turn into arbitration or legal action), it may be best to simply decline the interview.

Right or wrong, I tend to view one's HR file as akin to talking to the cops. 'Anything [in it] can and will be used against you.'
