Acronis’ 2025 Women in Tech Report uncovers gender gap perceptions in career development and leadership opportunities

The 2025 Women in Tech Report from Acronis highlights considerable disparity in perceptions of career prospects between men and women in the technology sector. Released on October 22, 2025, this report, titled “FOMO at Work: The Opportunity Gap Between Men and Women in Tech,” reveals that while men typically perceive the tech industry as equitable, women identify significant barriers including bias and work-life balance issues.

The survey indicates that only 60% of women believe career development opportunities are equally accessible to both genders, compared to 75% of men. Additionally, 63% of women report that work-life balance challenges substantially affect their career progression, contrasted with 49% of men. Furthermore, 67% of women assert they must work longer hours to advance, whereas 56% of men share this view.

“Our new survey findings shine a spotlight on just how differently men and women experience working in the tech industry,” said Alona Geckler, SVP Business Operations and Chief of Staff at Acronis. Geckler emphasized the necessity for organizations to design programs aimed at closing the gender gap by addressing bias and enhancing leadership opportunities.

The report's analysis indicates that despite efforts towards inclusivity, systemic inequalities continue in tech workplaces. Women favor targeted initiatives like leadership development, highlighting a gap in men's understanding of these barriers. The findings illustrate specific areas where organizations can improve inclusivity in their workforce.

“This report highlights the critical need for companies to listen more closely to women’s experiences in technology career paths,” stated Melyssa Banda, Senior Vice President at Seagate Technology. Banda pointed out that addressing bias and promoting female role models can contribute to a more supportive industry for all professionals.

The findings are based on a global survey of over 650 IT professionals from eight countries, reflecting a workforce where women constitute merely 29% of the tech sector. The 2025 study is a continuation from Acronis' prior year research, expanding its respondent base to provide a more comprehensive view of gender disparities in tech.
