As a "heritage McDonnell Douglas" guy, I can say that there is a difference of opinion on this subject within current Boeing employees...
I was at one of the few McDonnell Douglas/Boeing locations where immediately after the "merger" employees from both companies began working side-by-side. McDonnell Douglas was doomed by a lack of cash reserves and a shrinking market share. Boeing was being run by ludicrously high-paid idiots - at least at our location. Boeing engineers were making about 30% more than equivalent McDonnell Douglas guys and were so hated by local NASA management that many McDonnell Douglas guys were moved into management positions on Boeing contracts right away.
