Every faction has its thing.Jinteki/Shaper is a fairly balanced introduction to the game and introduces the concept of the Corp Bluffing (with Project Junebug) in a very direct manner, since Junebug does damage to the Runner, as opposed to granting tags or trashing programs.
Of the other corps:
NBN has a lot of ICE that is designed to tag but let the Runner through, which can be frustrating to a new player.
Weyland has an alternate victory condition (attend the funeral of the Runner)
Haas-Bioroid has ICE with routines that have an alternative break condition, which can confuse new players.
Of the other Runners:
Criminal has a lot of dodge and weave tactics and entirely lacks a codegate breaker.
Anarch has the viral suite, which requires a different style of play.
