"It seemed like a cool, innovative new company," Lam said.
Starting in early 2022, the company poured millions of dollars into an experimental sales boot camp called Otter University.
She joined the company in 2020 as Otter's head of sales enablement and helped dream up the idea of a sales boot camp a year later.
Two former OtterU employees said that Law and another Otter executive urged managers to join their teams for late-night drinks following team dinners.
But the late nights and free-flowing alcohol struck some OtterU employees as inappropriate for the workplace, especially when managers had to deal with hungover teams the next day.
