Engineering is Groq’s largest department with 143 employees, accounting for roughly 47 % of the total workforce and underscoring the organization’s product-centric culture. Finance & Administration and Business Management follow next, each with 35 employees, while Marketing & Product (21) and Sales & Support (18) provide go-to-market coverage.
