Is Linkedin messaging professional?

For current analysts/associates/vp's etc, how do you feel about prospective candidates sending you Linkedin messages for networking/informational interview requests? Do you find this annoying/unprofessional or do you prefer it to email? This would be after you (the employee) accept a request to connect and specifically for investment banking.

I am assuming this ranges depending on seniority but would like to hear multiple opinions here.
