The slimy interface that the slimy emails lead you to...
Edit: if you want some concrete things... I can never tell if I'm on my "public" profile page or my profile settings page, or how to get to which one. One of them shows my connections and one doesn't or something, but I for some reason finding them is hard every time. I can also never (on the first try) get to a message someone has sent me, because clicking on the message leads me to the persons profile? or similar. Also I don't want to use messages in the first place, I want email even if it doesn't get LinkedIn ad revenue. I don't need people to vouch for my skills at all, most of them don't even know what low-level skills I use on a daily basis. Leaving a group isn't easy. The grays used all over the interface are pure gray, and feel dull, instead they should have a small amount of blue in them. The stream page has a "People you may know" box twice. I'm not "interested" in any of their ads.
LinkedIn's problems stem from (1) a blatantly confusing interface or (2) a user-hostile, ad-focused monetization strategy.
