corpus weapons tend to deal puncture damage, which does less against your shields but more easily ignores your armor, so once your shield goes down the corpus more easily kill you. vis versa, the grineer generally deal impact damage with their weapons, and some with slash, which makes your shields go down quicker, although they have a slightly harder time taking down your health.

plus grineer have the advantage of having three heavy unit types, two of which have weapons with massive, punch through AoE weapons that can hit you and set you on fire/knock you down even behind cover, and another which does ridiculous damage to shields.

The void mixes both factions weakness/defenses, making the void more tricky. Generally though, the enemies in the void don't have hitscan weapons so they can be dodged.
