Isomorphic Labs
London · founded 2021
Isomorphic Labs is a London-based AI drug-discovery company spun out of Google DeepMind in 2021 and owned by Alphabet, founded and led by Sir Demis Hassabis. It builds on the Nobel-winning AlphaFold system to design medicines computationally, with a stated mission to eventually 'solve all disease'. Expect a research-heavy, mission-driven frontier-science environment that raised $600M in its first external round (led by Thrive Capital) in 2025. Be aware that the company publishes almost nothing concrete about benefits - its careers pages speak only of 'generous benefits' and 'development opportunities' - so verify pension, leave, health and equity directly with the recruiter; the one thing they are explicit about is a hybrid model of three days a week in the office.

the legal floor where they are
Set by law, not by Isomorphic Labs. It applies to every employer in London.
| PTO | 28 (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
|---|---|
| Birthing-parent leave | 52 (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| Partner leave | 2 (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| State pension | auto-enrolment: employer contributes at least 3% of qualifying earnings (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| Disability rights at work | Equality Act 2010: disability is a protected characteristic and s.20 imposes a duty to make reasonable adjustments (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| Neurodivergent adjustments | Reasonable adjustments are owed on the IMPACT of a condition, not on a diagnosis. ACAS is explicit that no formal diagnosis is required, so the duty can arise before anyone has been assessed -- which matters when an adult autism assessment is a multi-year wait. Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia are covered where the effect on day-to-day activities is substantial and long-term. Asking for an adjustment is itself protected: you cannot lawfully be dismissed or treated worse for asking. (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
