If the opportunity is right, why not?
I recently boomeranged and it has been such a positive experience. I've brought so much knowledge from the outside and I have a deep appreciation for aspects of the role and company that I previously took for granted. Highly recommend!
It's a great question. We all leave companies for a variety of reasons. Sometimes just because it's a bad manager. Given a mutually amicable initial departure, I'd certainly consider again if it was a good company, good mission and potentially different circumstance a second time around.
It depends on which company I previously worked for.
Given a bit of breathing room between stints at the company, I would want to see that actions have been put in place based on feedback given after I had left the company.
Promises are often made during exit interviews/negotiations. It would be interesting to see if they still valued the feedback after you're gone, or simply discard it if you didn't stick around
