Anyone here ever work at firms like Superkul and Partisans in Toronto, Canada before? Looking to get some reviews. They dont have much reviews on glassdoor
Don’t know much about their offices but I do know that partisans got their start by exploiting many unpaid interns and lots of mommy and daddy and friends money.
Always get the vibe
that Canada's best are poor man's versions of American and European architects. They've got one of Frank Gehry's former employees doing terrible knock-offs in Edmonton, a local version of Williams & Tsien, and Partisans doing their best impression of Snohetta and ZHA. Adamson is a giant in its own right though.

I live in Canada and am.pretty sure I've never heard of any of the forms you're alluding to. Never even heard of Partisans until seeing this thread. Wondering why you think these firms are 'Canada's best'?
Superkul & Partisans

I know the founders of both offices.

I imagine superkul is a wonderful place to work.
Sounds like they are a bunch of douche nozzles.
When you're one of two "cool" firms in a city with architecture schools full of Chinese students, the interns are ripe for the slaughter.
Chad, I don't think superkul has any douche nozzles on staff. They do good stuff.

partisans looks like a remnant of 2006 aka an illegitimate child of schumacher
Their sauna is a 100% botched rip-off of Snohetta's reindeer pavilion.

Patkau, Shim-Sutcliffe, Mackay-Lyons Sweetapple are in that realm too imo
