As far as I've been able to tell, factions are mostly balanced. Theme lists are being updated (much different than MK2 themes.). So far, Testament, Thyra, and then whatever jack caster you prefer have been the menoth hotness. RFP is a big deal as is mobility and scenario presence, and Protectorate has all of these things.
The big boogeyman in the metagame right now is Denny 2 Denny1 with the "Ghost Fleet" theme. Grymkin also seem reasonably strong. Testament got nerfed recently, but it seems like he's still good. Some might even consider him a boogeyman in the game right now as well.

Denny2? Denny2 Ghost Fleet is specifically a Denny1 Ghost Fleet counter and is otherwise much much worse (though as someone who has been focusing on factions other than PoM for a while, she might also have game into ToM? Her RFP strategy is more spot removal for key models rather than blanket denial though...

I need to get more games in against Cryx so I can start learning what all their models do. |

The problem is not Denny1 Ghost Fleet, the problem is that this is paired with Coven Dark Host which recquire vastly different lists to handle. Thyra sort of plays into both though.
Themes are giving free point for amount of jacks/units of a specific type, so expect to see spam.
PoM itself is reasonably balanced internally, does have decent themes. But in competitive meta this is a bit lackluster as it is under the curve compared to non-balanced factions.
You are almost able to play everything you want, but it's sub-top.

Because of the free points, it's kind of become a "theme" machine as of late, but other than that it's pretty good. PoM is still middle tier as far as all faction placements. Cygnar, Cryx, Khador have been holding rather high positions as of late. Convergence has also been going up. The field allowance of 1 non-faction solo and 1 non-faction unit within themes is really changing the dynamics as of late so we'll have to see where it ends up.
