Well, I have been known to meet with people just prior to my departure to let them know how things can be improved. It's not something you can do anonymously however. I've sat down with those who I felt could implement changes and told them the things I saw that could be improved.
If you go this route, it needs to be handled carefully so your friends don't pay a price since they're still there. I'm always sure to give specific examples of behaviors that hurt the company, offer ideas for how they can be solved (training for certain managers, better communication from leaders, etc), and make a point to keep it from being an attack on individuals or the company itself. If the perceive you to just be a bitter, soon to be ex-employee they won't even consider the message.
The reception I've gotten has been mixed. Both times I did it I think they were happy to hear the feedback but unhappy with the fact that most of the problems weren't easy to fix (in some cases impossible to fix).
