What I see when I look at LinkedIn is a company that has too many teams and not enough communication. "We're in charge of the side bar... but we don't talk to the people who are in charge of the profile... or the people in charge of the feed..." They need better unification on the product team.
They don't use anywhere near the full screen on desktop / laptop, it's some sort of crappy non-responsive tiny little center column for content.
SO much sponsored content with the new UI. Between through "stuff you may like" and jobs and "people you may know" and just ads... and then you finally see what your friends posted. Of the top 10 posts in my feed, 7 of them were ads. Even when you hit "hide stories like this" on the sponsored crap, they come back again. If I'm not looking for a job, why do I have to see the jobs?

Page load times are SOO long. 4.5 seconds to load a profile page that doesn't even have never-ending scroll? I'm using Google Fiber 1000.

It's just ugly a lot of spacing just seems off. Colors seem off... like they don't have a style guide. "Let's slop in some yellowish there, that'll be fine..."

We lost functionality... ability to see profiles, ability to print your profile to a PDF and see endorsements / recommendations. Now all you see is where you worked.

UX seems like it's some totally compromised middled ground between junky non-responsive and where it wants to be in 5 years... it is just not very good at all right now.
EDIT: A few more...
A least they don't have 4 different main navigation bars within 1 click inside of the main navigation away from each other... oh wait... http://imgur.com/BAfojwJ http://imgur.com/BAfojwJ
At least they don't add frivolous scroll bars to their menus... oh wait... http://imgur.com/iKiIkuF http://imgur.com/iKiIkuF
At least their main navigation controls are consistent throughout... oh wait... http://imgur.com/rwffoqT http://imgur.com/rwffoqT
