My impression was that it was a reverse buyout. Where did senior management come from after the merger?

The reverse buyout story is popular, but totally ignores that a bunch of the decisions and policies were established under Condit who was "lifer" at Boeing, and in fact said policies were complained about by engineering from both Boeing and McDonnell-Douglas side, all before Condit was forced by procurement scandal to leave his position
Douglas afaik. Boeing moved HQ and quite a few engineering practices were abandoned.
And all of that was initiated by Condit, who was from Boeing side
