You asked about blocking everyone from a specific company from seeing your LinkedIn Profile.
The answer to this question is still no.

However you can block individuals who are logged into LinkedIn from seeing your LinkedIn

block them from viewing your LinkedIn Profile if they are logged into LinkedIn. Read more

Contrary to the other answers there actually is a way, but it’s tedious.

You would have to find every employee who works at that company, and individually go to their
profile page.

From there,

click on More…,

then Report/Block

Then Block them.

Per LinkedIn:
You will no longer be connected (if you were before), or have endorsements and
recommendations from this person.

You will also no longer see any suggestions to interact with each other.

There is no "Block" button anywhere on the LinkedIn platform, as you find on other social
networking sites, such as Twitter. So there's no fast and easy way to completely block anyone,
including your employer, from viewing your LinkedIn profile. But there are ways to ensure that
your profile and and elements within it are less visible, making it harder for your employer to see
certain things that you don't want her to see.

A determined pursuer could always borrow access from a friend or family member who is not
associated with that company. I suspect you either hope to keep a competitor in the dark, or
avoid negative interaction. There are creative ways to respond to thorny challenges like these, if
you want to share some detail …
