Your brother said correctly

Your brother is wise. Just don't talk anything about your work or anything related to office.

If I were your brother, I would’ve told you to give him 3-4 chances first. Treat him like a real brother in the beginning and judge him based on his vibe and reactions. If he responds to you like a true bro, then congrats, you just found a brother for life in the corporate grind.
But if it doesn't work out, you know exactly what to do:
Change roommates under some random excuse. Being on the same team and having a toxic environment at home as well will make your life hell.
Keep it strictly professional. Talk only about team stuff and work, nothing personal. Formal boundaries!
Give it a fair shot first, but protect your peace if things go south.
