We're learning more about Ellen Pao's working environment at Kleiner Perkins, thanks to trial testimony from managing partner Ted Schlein.

Pao, a former junior partner at Kleiner, is seeking $16 million in damages from the firm for gender discrimination.

Schlein recalled a private jet trip to New York with Pao and Dan Rosensweig, the CEO of Chegg, a company Kleiner had invested in.

Rosensweig allegedly kept the conversation around Playboy, Victoria's Secret, and other "very offensive sexual topics," according to Pao's trial brief.

" Dan said he met with Christie Hefner at the Playboy mansion," testified Schlein. " Dan is a boisterous type."

Schlein didn't do much to rein in Rosensweig.

"I don't remember trying to stop it," he said.

Pao's attorney, Alan Exelrod, mentioned the incident to paint a picture of the environment she worked in at Kleiner.
