Yes, Boeing's headquarters used to be across from the airplane plant (if you can call it that). Now the headquarters is in the Midwest and completely separated from the airplane assembly areas. When they were next to each other, engineering dominated the company and engineers moved back and forth from the plant to HQ easily.

Now the HQ is far away in the Midwest and controlled by business types, so engineering doesn't dominate and we are seeing what the cost cutting can do to a once brilliant engineering firm.
