Has at least some competent members, even if they die
Its lowest tier members aren't immediately bodied

1) Style is an absolute must. There should be a uniform stylized to match the personalities of its members.
2) They need an agenda. They're not part of the group for the sake of the group, but are using the group for their own ends, breeding individuality.
3) There has to be a balance. Powerlevel faggotry is the bane of villain orgs. Even if the guys on the bottom rung aren't powerhouses, they should still bring something to the table that makes them worth keeping around (e.g. Zetsu and Szayel)
4) Unison. These guys are co-workers, so you should expect at least a few to get along in some capacity. There should also be co-workers who hate each other. Infighting is a must for intrigue and the inevitable breakdown in dynamics. You don't want the protagonists to beat them all. You keep dignity and learn about the members if you have them take out each other.

These are all reasons people remember akatsuki and arrancar more than any others. Phantom troupe too but they feel more like a family than an organization

Kubo really hates drawing backgrounds, doesn't he? And to this day I didn't understand the powers of anyone in this series. Worldbuilding has always been a mess

Plucks are only remembered because of their looks, you had coomerbait for straight and gay people there

any good examples of good villain orgs? Most of the shounenshit ive seen has such lackluster dogshit groups. Shichibukai from One Piece were pretty cool if they count I guess.

Mexicans. Especially when the leader has a slick back Mexican hair style.

The bar is pretty low for good villain organization. I guess you just have to do something significantly evil instead of just losing to the good guys.
Kayden Fisher
Is funny how those guys follows none of your points except maibe the 3rd one, yet manages to be thousand of times cooler than many other evil groups

The Shashibookie were explicitly supposed to be subservient to the main antagonistic faction in the setting, but it was established pretty quickly that none of them cared one iota about their obligations except for the literal brainwashed cyborg. Most of the original members turned out to be villains in the story anyway, though. Hard to say if they count or not, but I've always loved them. Baroque Works was a much more straightforward example from the same series, and I also liked them a lot.
The Homunculi from Fullmetal Alchemist are up there for me. Can't really think of a lot of others that left an impression.

Good group objective
Good group synergy
Good anti-synergy (otherwise might as well be the borgs)
Good individual objectives
Good relationship between these and the group objective (e.g. some running contrary in specific edge cases)
So nothing like the arrancars.

Kubo in general is a complete hack. 0 consistency at all on any level except (and kudos on that one) the absolute power of characters, but only in the sense that nobody magically becomes weaker except for logical, explicitly stated reasons (unfortunately they often become far stronger for no valid reason or as an asspull "I was only pretending to be weak and nearly lose my life because I'm lazy!" bullshit). It's so bad that you can completely ignore everything the series tells you about the mechanics of powers because it will be retconned within 2 chapters guaranteed. It's so bad that in the Lost Substitute Shinigami arc, for example, kubo doesn't even remember basic, previously plot-critical details like the combat pass and shinigamis, for instance, can't be seen if you can't see spirits, or worse: ichigo can't be a shinigami in his human body. These are just very basic fails, but even the way things like bankais work, what kinds there are and how many, or how common there are changes every chapter in the soul society and arrancar arc, for instance.
